Here is another pretty card featuring the Help Me Grow stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the gardening card using the following supplies:

Misty Moonlight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Lemon Lime Twist – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Painted Illusions dsp, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Smoky Slate, Misty Moonlight

 

I used a Blending Brush to add Misty Moonlight ink to the smaller Basic White panel before stamping the ‘ground’ image several times towards the bottom of the inked area. The whole panel was then adhered to the Lemon Lime Twist layer.
