Perennial Lavender card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired by a sketch. I have used the With You In Mind stamp set and the Perennial Lavender dsp to make my card.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the perennial lavender card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3⅞”
Perennial Lavender designer series paper (dsp) – 5¼” by 3¾” x 2
Basic White card – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I placed the 2 pieces of Perennial Lavender dsp together and tore from side to side. This gives pieces for 2 cards.

Using my finger to rough up the tore ends of both pieces and adhered them to the 5½” by 3⅞” panel of Basic White card. I did need to trim off a little from the top of the Basic White card. The whole piece was then adhered to the Crumb Cake card base.
