Card Making: Floral Card using Layered Stamp + Single Color Technique

My love for florals will never come to fade I guess. Looking at this post and the previous post you'll know why. :) 

Before I can get into this post, I would definitely like to mention few things. I was into card making before, but when I found my love for crochet along the way, I slightly leaned towards crochet and blogging and wasn't much into cards or paper crafts. While browsing one day, I found these amazing crafters posting their creations in groups and their pages on handmade cards and the use of clear stamps. I was totally new to the concept of clear stamps, but they looked so beautiful and attractive and most importantly, Perfect. This is when I started browsing for more of such things and started checking for online stores selling Clear Stamps. 

To my good fortune, one such company that make these clear stamps happened to participate in an Artisans Market in Chennai, and this is when I started planning my shopping list. A big shout out to Varshitha from Mudra Craft Stamps, an Indian based company that manufactures a vast variety of clear stamps that are gorgeous and yet affordable. She is such a humble and lovely human being and a crafter and she explained the technique so well, also Parul who assisted her. Thank you so much guys. :) I am really glad to have met you both.

I wanted to share with you guys, my first ever Floral Card using Stamping Technique using Ink Pads. It was really easy and fun to make this card and I loved it. Although I have quite a lot to learn, I am still happy with this first result of mine. :)
