Stampin Up Botanical Gardens
Welcome to a Monday Blog Hop with The Artful Stampers. This week I’ve got a Thank You Card using the Stampin Up Botanical Gardens Suite. This set has so much potential don’t you think?

I’ve started on a Whisper White Card Base, 13cm x 10.5cm finished size. A layer of Perfect Plum stamped with one of the stamps in the suite. I’ve stamped in Elegant Eggplant. A circle of Calypso Coral, and then I’ve placed the Crushed Curry banner between the circle and the sentiment circle. I’ve actually used My Digital Studio for the sentiment as I’ve not replaced my Thank You stamp sets that retired last year. Best fix that I think.
Next is some flowers cut from the thinlits in the suite, with the centers sponged with Calypso Coral Ink. Finished off with an Iced Rhinestone, and Large Rhinestones.

I’ve really loving that larger flower. The die for that flower cuts it like that, so the inner petals pop out. The little filigree piece is another die.
Here’s the Colour Challenge Graphic that I set for the team this week. I’d love to see what you create with it, if you play along at home.

Next on our Blog Hop we are hopping over to Alison Barclay (the norty one!! – see previous blog post) to see what she’s created.
