I have had this Soft Seedlings stamp set from Stampin’ Up for over a year and haven’t used it until today for anything more than the greetings. It was a fun set as I inked it and then sprayed it with water to give a great effect.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

More Mustard card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Basic Beige card stock
Soft Seedlings stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
More Mustard ink (Stampin’ Up)
Spray bottle with water

Adhesive of choice

From the More Mustard card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and a stripe to 1 ¼” x 5 ½”. From the Basic Beige cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ½” and a strip to 1” x 4 ½”.

Take one of the 4” x 5 ¼” of Basic Beige and with the large leaf stamp and your More Mustard ink and ink the stamp, then stray with some water and stamp in one corner just slightly off of each edge. Do the same in the opposite corner. In the other two corners do the same but just stamp part of the large leaf, not the stem or helicopters. Adhere to the front of your card base.

With the strip of Basic Beige stamp the “Thinking of You” greeting in More Mustard ink and then stamp part of the helicopter stamp on each end. Adhere to the More Mustard strip and the adhere to the front of your card on an angle and trip the ends to match the angle of your card.

Take the other piece of Basic Beige and adhere to the inside of your card. Use the “So grateful” greeting stamp and stamp with More Mustard ink to the upper center of the inside of your card. Then with More Mustard ink stamp a helicopter in the lower left corner.
