All Kinds of Crafty

Hello and thanks for joining my blog for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew blog hop. This month’s theme is spring, so I made a card featuring flowers from the new Paradise Garden stamp set. I am always so happy when flowers appear. For me, that is a true sign of spring!

I started with Mossy Meadow for the base of the card. I embossed the Very Vanilla mat with the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder.

I stamped the cluster of leaves with Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla card stock, and stamped the flowers using Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia ink. I cut them using the dies from the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder set. I used liquid glue to adhere the leaves and dimensionals to adhere the flowers.

The sentiment is from the Greenery Lane stamp set. I used the two smallest dies from Everyday Arches to cut them out. I finished off the outside of the card by adding three Mossy Meadow Natural Matte Dots.

On a Very Vanilla mat I stamped the sentiment from the Paradise Garden stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink. I inked the flower with Blackberry Bliss and carefully added Mossy Meadow to the stem and leaf. I did the same for the front of the envelope.
