- Basic White Cardstock: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (x2)
- Mossy Meadow Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Instructions
- Fold the Moody Mauve cardstock in half at the score line and burnish well with the Bone Folder to create your card base.
- Adhere one of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Using the Largest Die from the Countryside Corners die set in the Countryside Corners Bundle, die-cut the Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Cut & Emboss Machine. Set aside.
- Place the Countryside Corners Stamp from the Bundle face up on your craft table. Ink up a Sponge Dauber using the Mossy Meadow ink pad and add ink to the ‘triple stitched’ image. Stamp onto the other piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White Cardstock. Run through the Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out using the appropriately sized die from the Bundle.
- Using the Moody Mauve ink pad, stamp the open flower in the lower left corner. Ink up the bold flower using the Moody Mauve ink pad, tap off 1-2 times on your scratch paper and stamp onto the previously stamped flower.
- Ink up the small “center” of the flower using Mossy Meadow Ink, tap off 1-2 times on your scratch paper and stamp in center of the flower.
- Ink up the large open leaf using Mossy Meadow ink and tap off 1-2 times on your scratch paper, stamp on the upper right of the flower. Repeat this process 3-4 times as desired (see sample for placement.)
- Using the Black Memento ink pad, stamp the sentiment onto the die-cut Basic White cardstock.
- Adhere the White cardstock to the Mossy Meadow die-cut from Step #3 and adhere to the center of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
