Stampin’ Up!’s Nature Walk Suite Collection was designed with nature in mind. The Nature Walk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper contains a more neutral color palette, and the bundle lends itself to creating masculine cards.

I wanted to change the look a little bit. And for today’s card, I created something with color in it using a simple ink blending technique. (Inspired by Pam Dolan.) Be sure to watch the video below to see all of the details.

Measurements and Details

• Thick Basic White cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 `/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4.
• Secret Sea cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
• Basic White cardstock panel measuring 3 3/4 x 5 die cut with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies
• Basic White cardstock panel measuring 3 3/4 x 5
• Used small blending brushes to adhere colors of Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, and Fresh Freesia to the inside of the circle
• Stamped image and sentiment in Secret Sea
• Moody Palette Glossy Dots

Think about changing the colors to suit your interests and/or occasion. I feel this card also lends itself to a number of other sentiments. It works as an Easter and spring card, a birthday card, and even a sympathy card.

From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I offer step-by-step instructions for creating this handmade card using Stampin’ Up!’s Nature’s Symphony stamp set and an easy blending technique.

This simple card was easy to create, and you can make a lot of them at the same time. I hope you like it as much as I do. Please let me know if you have questions about this card or any other stamping project.
