Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using:

I have used the pretty Botanical Layers stamp set to make my card which was inspired by a card made by Lauri Meier – https://stampedgreetings.com/botanical-layers-cards-stamping-over-technique/

To recreate the botanical layers card, you will need:

Crumb cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape card – 4⅛” by ¼” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner

I stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner of the smaller Basic White panel in Gorgeous Grape ink.

Using Masking Paper, I masked off 1½” from the bottom of the same panel.

The largest leafy sprig was inked up with Fresh Freesia ink, stamped off and stamped onto the panel. I repeated this step 3 or 4 times to provide a base.

I added the delicate, feathery sprig in Crumb Cake ink and finally added the bolder leafy image in Gorgeous Grape ink. I absolutely love this colour combo. I removed the Masking Paper.

A length of Natural Finish Ribbon was wrapped around the panel to disguise the messy edge. I added the strips of Gorgeous Grape card on top of the ribbon, folding the edges around to the back securing them with Sellotape.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Using Blending Brushes, I added Gray Granite ink to the bottom of the outer panel and Bermuda Bay ink to the upper part of the outer panel. I added some texture to the bottom using the dotty image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Gray Granite ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Taking the inner piece I stamped the mountains, from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite ink and muddied the bottom using the small ‘cloud’ image from the Mountain Air stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Gray Granite. The sea and sky were both inked with Bermuda Bay ink, I just went lighter with the sky and added a 1” circle mask for the moon. The sea texture was added using a stamp from the Arctic Bears stamp set in Bermuda Bay. I place the 2 pieces of inked card together and stamped some birds, from the Mountain Air stamp set, randomly in the sky.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

The inner piece was then glued to the Gray Granite panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. And the outer piece added on Dimensionals.

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the lighthouse, from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite ink and repeated the step to get a slightly darker colour. I used a Blender Pen to add ink and to smooth out the colour a little. I also added a little Daffodil Delight ink as a lighthouse is nothing without a light! The lighthouse was added with glue and Dimensionals overlapping the inset panel.

The smaller boat from the Sailing Home stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and coloured with the Blender Pen and ink. The boat was added onto the inset layer with liquid glue.

Such a sweet card. I hope you like it.
