Today I’m creating a beautiful field of wildflowers—and the best part? It’s all done with ink blending and die cuts!
First, we have an amazing special offer for you!
VIDEO
I have a video today sharing how I created this card that you can view down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
I walk through everything in the video so down below I will list the main supplies used.
SUPPLIES
- Delicate Wildflowers
- Arctic Poppies
- Titled Daisies
- Smile Bundle
- Horizon Stencil
- Sentiment Labels Die
- A2 Arches DIe
One of the reasons I love starting with white cardstock is the creative freedom it gives me. Instead of relying on pre-colored paper, I get to control the exact shades and gradients using my inks. Whether I want soft pastels or bold, saturated tones, white cardstock is a blank canvas that works with any color combination I dream up.
I hope this project inspires you to look at your white cardstock in a whole new way! With just a few inks and a little blending, you can turn simple die cuts into a stunning bouquet full of color, texture, and personality.

Thanks for joining us today!
Stunning card, Mindy. I love your color choices.
Mindy, this card is SO beautiful! I love the soft colors! I always love the stand-alone dies!
This card is beautiful Mindy.
Beautiful card Mindy!! Love the soft colors and the dimension! Really enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Really Gorgeous card!!!!
While the card says “Your Smile Brings Me So Much Joy” I can say the exact same thing about this card, it is BEAUTIFUL. I love the softness of the mix of flowers used to create the focal point on the card and the Mountainscape stencil made for a fabulous background, it didn’t overpower the flowers but made for a soft and perfect background behind those beautiful flowers. For sure this card is one that would deliver so much joy to the lucky recipient of it. Spectacular card !!!
Wow Mindy, the sentiment on your card summed it up perfectly, while the card says “your smile, brings me so much joy” the same can be said for this card. I LOVE IT !! Anyone lucky enough to receive this card would feel the joy. Those flowers in the foreground are beautiful, the colors are soft and look like what you might hope to see at the bottom of a mountain. The mountainscape stencil made for a fantastic background behind those beautiful die cut flowers, it made for a subtle background allowing the flowers to shine.
I love this card and these flower dies so much!! Great job!!
I love the way you composed with the flowers.
I love how the flowers look in the arched window! Beautiful card!

Love the card!!!
I really love how all those flowers came together into that sunny little card!
I love the peekaboo effect with the arch die.
You see? This! THIS! This right here is why you’re a professional card maker and I am not. And I am OK with that (LOL). You took these dies – esp the three flowers – and combined them adding some color along the way and made a STUNNING card. Love the arch die and the awesome blended background (I just realized you used the Horizon stencil set for that). Wowza! You rock, as always.
