botanical bounty...

Hello, friend!  Recently I participated in the Saturday Showcase with Papertrey Ink.  We highlighted the beautiful Botanical Bounty stamp set and dies....which are favorites of mine!

I began with a Sweet Blush card base and then added a strip of Bitty Big Lilac Grace across the bottom.  From Lemon Tart cardstock, I used the Scallop Stackers:  Large Die, rubbed the edges across my watermark ink pad and then heat embossed the edges using white embossing powder.  I then used the Stitch in Time stamp set and heat embossed the frame to the center of my scalloped die cut.  My sentiment comes from the Bitty Bouquet stamp set and is stamped in Olive Twist ink.

I framed in my sentiment using a die cut Garden Garland, cut from white cardstock.  Lovely stamped and die cut images from the Botanical Bounty stamp set came next.  I stamped in Pale Peony, Hibiscus Burst, Lilac Grace, Autumn Rose, Lavender Moon, Spring Moss, Prairie Grass, Lemon Tart, and Summer Sunrise.  These flowers make any card look gorgeous....love this set to bits!

Enjoy your day!
