ORNATE LAYERS DIES SHOWCASED!

Hi, Friends,

It keeps raining today!  I look up and there is sunshine, then it gets cloudy, then it gets dark, then it rains (repeat, repeat, repeat).  But I GOT to go to the grocery wearing my new leopard skin face mask, and it wasn’t raining then and I got to walk around the neighborhood after dinner and it wasn’t raining then, either!  But the BEST part of the day was making another inspiration card for the Ornate Garden Suite Sampler!

This is the Ornate Garden Suite Sampler for June—see my post dated June 4, 2020 for details!  If you look carefully, you can see a die cut in Terracotta Tile that I used on this card.  

I love the way this card turned out!  Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Ornate Style, Rooted in Nature

CARDSTOCK:

     Crumb Cake:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

     Terracotta Tile:  4-1/8 x 5-3/8

     Early Espresso:  4 x 4

     Whisper White:  3-7/8 x 3-7/8

     SCRAPS:  Crumb Cake, Terracotta Tile

          INSIDE:

               Early Espresso:  3-3/4 x 5

               Whisper White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

INK:  Early Espresso

BLENDS:  Old Olive (L), Daffodil Delight (D), Petal Pink (D), Cajun Craze (L)

Notice that I didn't use a single dimensional on this card (I don't do that very often)!

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use scoreboard to score card base at 4-1/4; fold and burnish with bone folder.

2.  Stamp signature stamp using Early Espresso ink on back of card base.

3.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp corner of flower stamp on lower right corner of inside panel.  Color using markers.

4.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

5.  Emboss Terracotta Tile cardstock using Subtles Embossing Folder and Big Shot.  Adhere to front of card base.

6.  Use Ornate Layers Dies to cut die cut from scrap of Terracotta Tile cardstock.  Cut scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock to adhere behind the die cut.  Adhere die cut panel to front of card base (see sample for placement).

7.  Stamp sentiment using Early Espresso ink on upper right corner of Whisper White cardstock.  Use Early Espresso to stamp flower stamp on left side and lower right side of the Whisper White panel.  Color flowers using markers.

8.  Adhere stamped panel to Early Espresso cardstock.  Adhere to front of card base.

9.  Add Gilded Gems to die cut on front of card (see sample for placement).

I hope you have had an awesome day today.  Make sure to find some time for crafting!  

Happy stamping,
