Card Inspiration: Love Is in the Air Park Scene
For this card, I wanted to create a calm, light-filled scene with plenty of soft colour. A gentle blue ink-blended background creates the sky, while the stamped city buildings add structure without overpowering the design. The park bench anchors the scene and draws the eye to the centre, while the heart balloons add movement and a pop of bold colour.
The white heat-embossed sentiment keeps the design clean and crisp, allowing the scene to remain the star of the card.
Step-by-step instructions
- Trim white cardstock slightly smaller than your card base and ink blend a soft blue shade over the panel, keeping the edges light and airy.
- Stamp the cloud and heart balloon outlines in white ink and heat emboss to add subtle background detail.
- Stamp and die cut the buildings, greenery, bench, balloons, and sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Love Is in the Air Stamp & Die Bundle.
- Colour the images using your preferred colouring medium, keeping the palette soft with pops of red for contrast.
- Arrange and adhere the scene elements onto the background panel, using foam adhesive behind the bench and balloons for dimension.
- Heat emboss the sentiment directly onto the background panel beneath the scene.
- Add white paint splatters for texture, then adhere the finished panel to a coordinating card base.
