#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  I originally made this card for a STARS Blog Hop that took place on 9 March.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

    • Granny Apple Green card base - 11" x 4 1/4". score @ 5 1/2"

        Simply Zinnia Gratitude Card

        It's the last Monday of February!! Today I made another card with the Simply Zinnia stamps, dies and the Flowering Zinnia's Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This new suite of products and many others will be available in the Online Exclusive store starting 5 March, 2024. 

          

        Card Instructions
        1. Start with Melon Mambo card base cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score & fold at 4 1/4".
        2. Attach DSP layer cut 3" x 4" to a Melon Mambo accent layer cut 4 1/8" x 3 1/8", then secure to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. 
        3. Cut Basic White cardstock strip 1" x 4 1/2" and  stamp sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  
        4. Punch right side of strip with Banners Pick A Punch and attach as shown.  
        5. Stamp single flower onto Basic White cardstock scrap with Melon Mambo ink and then brush same ink over flower with Blender Brush.  Stamp leaves in Mossy Meadow ink and blend over with Lemon lime Twist.  Die cut both stamped images. 
        6. Attach flower and leaves to card front as shown.  Be sure to add a dimensional under left side of flower for support. 
        7. Add desired number of gems.  I used my "go to" 2023-2025 In Color Dots.
