August 25, 2018      Papertrey Ink      68 Comments

“When I think of a garden, I immediately think of all the colors and texture and unique details in all of the flowers in our yard, so we’re going to put some of those elements into practice in this class! We’ll be using lots of color and texture to build our card with layers of die cut elements and colorful details! We’ll be ink blending, stamping and die cutting our way to a beautiful garden-inspired card!”

  1. Stencil leaves/berries on card base – one color per each of the four stencils.
  2. Die cut flowers, leaves & sentiment.
  3. Stamp flowers and leaves.
  4. Adhere flowers and leaves to corners, to create floral clusters.
  5. Adhere sentiment.

Supplies:

  • STAMPS: Layered Garden
  • INK: Hibiscus Burst, Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal, New Leaf, Green Parakeet, Cocoa Bean
  • PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Hawaiian Shores

    I’m loving the online participation today. Thanks for the clear instruction and helpful hints for substituting what I already have in my stash. That really boosts my creativity! I especially appreciate your challenge to use 8 colors on the card. Finally, I hope the You’re the Best die will be available at some point in the future! These are beautiful dies.

    I was really happy to see Dawn scheduled for a card making session. Her color scheme’s always inspire me to venture out of my comfort zone of my “normal” 2-3 mix. This will totally be a stretch ~ using 8 colors on one card, but I am really looking forward to the challenge! 🙂
    Thank you for the great video and for sharing your beautiful creations, Dawn McVey!

I blended several colors in the stenciled foliage and used Sunflower Harvest to create a card filled with the late Summer colors in my garden. Heartfelt thanks for the wonderful inspiration, Dawn! ?
