Design Time: This round Hand Stamped Sentiments (#444) has a light and breezy summer Mood Board to inspire your creations. I picked up the colors, the stripes, the flowers and the texture.

I opted to go retro with my stamp set choices to play along with the Retro Rubber (#236) Slim-Line Sketch and sharing my card with the current Alphabet (Letter I) Colors as they were a match.


Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (7” x 6” scored at 3½”) Pretty in Pink cardstock for a Mini Slim-Line card.
- Accent Mat: (5¾” x 3¼”) Basic White cardstock.
- The bold sentiment, Hello There, from the retired Hello There stamp set (circa 2014) was stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink.
- The Panel was then dry-embossed with the retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
- Vertical Cross Strip: (1¼” x 3½”) Smoky Slate Striped patterned piece of paper from the 2024/2025 Neutrals Collection Designer Series Paper pack.
- Shapes – Flowers: Basic White cardstock scrap.
- The Triple Floral image from the retired Eastern Blooms stamp set (circa 2008) was stamped with Pretty in Pink ink. A few color details were added to the Flowers with the Light Smoky Slate, Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.
- The Flowers were then fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch and the Flowers were popped up with Dimensionals.
A fresh and simple greeting card.
Looking forward to seeing how the Mood Board will inspire you. Please share with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

What a wonderful “Just because” card, I love the CAS design with pops of colour on the textured white background. The lettering of the sentiment stamp is beyond amazing. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
Hugs, Veronika
