        #DOswts428 Sketch Inspiration Card - featuring Botanical Layers

        Hey Friends!  I originally made this card for a STARS Blog Hop that took place on 9 March.  But my daughter had other plans for me Saturday and my post was not finished so here is my #DOswts428 Sketch Inspiration Hop card a few days late.  I used a double stamping technique for the my snake plant.  I stamped once with Lemon Lime Twist and then added color with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker directly to the stamp for the 2nd stamping.  It is best to use a stamping platform for this type of stamping.

          • Botanical Layers 
        • Paper 
          • Granny Apple Green card base - 11" x 4 1/4". score @ 5 1/2"
          • Granny Apple Green embossed & die cut layer  3" x 4" 
          • Basic White stamped & die cut layer - 3" x 4", plus scrap for sentiment
          • Lemon Lime Twist sentiment accent layer - 1/2" x 2 1/2" 
        • Ink 
          • Lemon Lime Twist Classic Stampin' Pad
          • Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker
