Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Planted Paradise

Last week’s Card & Cuppa design used the Planted Paradise Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue.

This stamp set has lots of leaf and planter images to allow you to create many different combinations.

I chose to use the images in a slightly different way for this Thinking of You card.

Firstly, we drew lines where our diagonal Very Vanilla strip was going to sit.

Next, the leaves were stamped along the line in Shy Shamrock, Shaded Spruce, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green.

Once the leaves were stamped, a slightly wider strip of Shy Shamrock cardstock was added. This is one of this year’s In Colors and the bright green works really well in this combination.

Any overhanging cardstock was then cut away.

A sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set is then stamped onto the Very Vanilla strip before that is also added. Again, any overhanging cardstock is cut away.

Finally, Iridescent Pearls are coloured using coordinating Stampin’ Blends and positioned either side of the sentiment.
