#SimpleStamping Presents a Translucent Florals Card
Today’s Translucent Florals card is based on Stampin’ Up!’s monthly challenge for #SimpleStamping. The idea behind this challenge is to show new and beginner stampers that stamping is easy and does not require all the fancy gadgets to create a beautiful handmade cards.
The joy of paper crafting is something that should be shared with everyone—and it’s the reason Stampin’ Up! started the #SimpleStamping campaign.
Grab a stamp set, paper, and ink, and let’s get stamping…

Don’t forget to decorate the envelope!
The fun of receiving snail mail begins with the envelope.
Remember we are still using the same Simple Stamping parameters as the card.
I just repeat the same elements I used on the card front. The big difference is I stamped the background image in the area where you would address the envelope to the recipient. Then I stamped 2 flowers in the bottom left corner.
Finally, I stamped 3 leaves on the envelope flap.
