Fragrant Layers Card for Team Training

Posted on November 29, 2025January 6, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Here is the card designed for my recent team training gathering. I have used the gorgeous Fragrant Layers stamp set which will be available from the 6^th January in the January to April 2026 Mini Catalogue.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the fragrant layers card, you will need:

Strawberry Slush card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” on the long-side
Secret Sea card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Secret Sea card – 2” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I began by tearing a piece of printer paper from side to side. I placed the torn edges about 1¼” inches apart down the length of the smaller panel of Basic White card and held them in position with a bit of Washi Tape.

The large outline image from the Fragrant Layers stamp set was stamped over the inked strip in Secret Sea ink. I added the single flower image at the top and the double leaf at the bottom to extend the stamped image. The decorated panel was then glued to the Secret Sea layer and then to the Strawberry Slush card front.
