The plastic bag stamped background really make this card less boring.  I chose to first lay down some Pumpkin Pie ink on white cardstock using a blending brush.  The added more ink using a crumpled up plastic bag.  I finished it off by splattering some Wink of Stella after the layer were attached to card base.  Quick video below shows how I did it.

      Monochrome Friday Insta Hop Card - It's Poppy Parade on a Sunday

      Hey Friends!! I made the Monochrome Friday Insta-Hop.  The color is Poppy Parade, a great shade of red that does really match the color of a red poppy.  I pulled out a stamp set from 2021, Artistically Inked and coordinating Artistic Dies for this card today.   





      Card Details
      • Stamp
        • Artistically Inked
      • Paper
        • Poppy Parade 11" x 4 1/4"., score & fold at 5 1/2" , scrap for die cut leaves 
        • Basic White layer - 5 1/4" x 4" 
        • Basic White sentiment -1/2" x 4", die cut with 3rd largest Scalloped Contour die
      • Ink
        • Poppy Parade Ink Pad
        • Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
      • Tools/Embellishment
        • Artistic Dies Dies
        • Deckled Circle Dies 
        • Mini Glue Dots
        • Multipurpose Liquid Glue




      To create the stamped background I die cut a circle using Deckled Circle Dies from the same size paper as my Basic White layer.  Put the die cut layer on white layer and filled the circle.  This is one of my favorite ways to create a simple, but effective background.  The leaf die cut is secured with dots of glue along the stem to give the leaves as sense of movement.  The sentiment strip is attached with two glues dots - one on each end.

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  I originally made this card for a STARS Blog Hop that took place on 9 March.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