A pretty card in shades of green using the Batik Boutique stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Green Batik card

Posted on July 30, 2021July 23, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a green batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies. I love the symmetry of the stamps in this set, so pretty.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pattern batik card, you will need:

Evening Evergreen card – 5⅛” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Basic White card – 2½” by 2”
Evening Evergreen – 2½” by 2

I began by stamping the outline of the flower and stem, from the Batik Boutique stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink randomly all over the 5” by 3⅛” panel of Basic White. The infill image was added in Granny Apple Green ink. I love these 2 greens together. I added the stitched circle images in Highland Heather ink.

The stamped panel was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Evening Evergreen panel. I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the Granny Apple Green card base using the same liquid glue. The whole piece was added to the Granny Apple Green card front using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Party Puffin stamp set was stamped onto scrap Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink and was punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. I used the same Tailored Tag punch to cut another tag from scrap Evening Evergreen card.

Today I ‘ve been playing with the Pierced Bloom dies, haven’t had these out for a while and I had forgotten how pretty these flowers are. I have made a pretty, flowers in bloom card.

The colours used in this project are:
