Welcome
I made this for a birthday earlier in the year, but as it went overseas, I waited until it had been received before sharing it.
The card base was white, and layered over it was a blue triangle that I had stamped with the greeting (a magazine freebie) and embossed, and edged with blue ink before adhering.
The focal point stamping is an Altenew Build a Flower, Camellia stamp, stamped in Catherine Pooler Rouge ink, then fussy cut
I decided to take a leaf, or should that be a petal, out of Kelly's , of Sandcastle Stamper, book, and stamped my flower onto some card that had been smooshed with blue inks.
I then used green ink to stamp it again onto some green smooshed card, fussy cut that, then layered the fussy cut flowers over it
The finishing detail on the front was to add some faux stitching to the white portion of the card before adhering the floral image
I stamped the image on the left of the inside of the card in gray ink, and the envelope was stamped 'off the edge' in the same ink.

That's a beautiful Camellia stamp Maxine, they are in bloom here and beautiful now the rain has given them a beak.
