Garden More

 

This is "Garden More".

A friend of mine, who is very price conscious, ended up buying a magazine that included a stamp set. Mind you it had a LOT of stamps, but it cost $27.00. Needless to say my eyes went wide!

But I did ask to use it - lol, and made this card using the stamps. I also did this card for the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com, for which I am hostess this week.

I picked PMQ for Two for this week's site. They have a commercial site, along with Pinterest, which is what I used, finding this for my inspiration.

For my card I traced around the largest circle die creating a faint line that I could fussy cut. I stamped the scene using Memento Ink in Cocoa, then die cut using the large circle die, and coloured the background using Copic markers in G12, B21, YG01.

Starting with the tree E25, E27, E28; bird house G02, G16 and R17; leaves G03. G05, G09; flowers Y08, RV02, V04, G03 and G05; and a Bronze Sharpie around the edges of the circle die, which I die cut once I was finished with my colouring.

Using a light blue cardstock I embossed two pieces cut to 4 7/8 square using Altenew's Organic Linen embossing folder, then attached the blue pieces to my 5" square white Neenah card base.

I attached the Sharpie coloured circle edge to the large circle using foam squares, which I also added to the centre of the circle, then attached the piece to my card base. In my original Misti I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair ink in Green Oasis.

Finishing up I added a few bright green gems from Studio Katia.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today, and wish to thank you for stopping by.

See you next time.
