I was in an ink blending mood after creating the slimline cards last week, so I decided to use one of the ink blended backgrounds and just stamp the Fragrant Layers flower image in Memento Black ink onto the background, and lightly shade it with some Stampin’ Blends markers. I think it turned out so pretty!

Card Base Dimensions & Tip

You may have noticed me using the Irresistible Designs 12×12 paper for my mini slimline card bases.. it’s so perfect because it’s easily cut into fourths, then scored and folded in half to make a 3×6 mini slimline! (I used THESE adorable envelopes).

  • Card base: Irresistible Designs 6×6, scored and folded in 1/2 at 3″
  • Basic White Layer (for ink blending & stamping): 2-3/4″ x 5-3/4″
