The sentiment was from the Throughout the Year stamp set. In fact, I used the EASTER from the happy Easter stamp and the HAPPY from the happy holidays stamp – I liked the font …….. what can I say. They were stamped in Garden Green and fussy cut before being added to the card front.

Thankful Garden card – Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing flora/fauna themed projects.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the thankful garden card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5¾” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape card – 5” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4½” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

I stamped the floral image in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card front with Fresh Freesia ink and set it one side.

The same image was then stamped on scrap Basic White card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks I added Fresh Freesia ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Gorgeous Grape ink to add the detail. The leaves were coloured with Old Olive, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The image was then die cut using the Thankful Garden Dies.

I die cut 2 stitched arches from the panels of Basic White and Gorgeous Grape card. The sentiment from the Best Family Ever stamp set was stamped onto the arch with Old Olive ink and the 2 were glued together and added to the card front.
