I had a lot of fun with Handmade Botanicals...
These stamps make quick and easy cards...
I made a fun set of cards using each of the botanical images and sentiments from Melanie Muenchinger's Year of Flowers 3.
Additional GKD Supplies:
Ink: Grass Green, Turquoise Sea
Cardstock: White, Grass Green, Dark Chocolate
Patterned Paper: Delicate Essentials
I used Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers directly on the Botanicals image and added a sentiment from Beth Silaika's Genevieve Giraffe.
Additional GKD Supplies:
Ink: Dark Chocolate
Cardstock: White, Dark Chocolate, Blue Lagoon
It's fun to break out lots of ink and other goodies to play with these stamps, too!
I used a variety of ink colors to stamp each of the Botanical images and paired it with a saying from Gina Krupsky's Scripty Sayings stamp set.
Additional GKD Supplies:
Ink: Prickly Pear, Dark Chocolate, Honey Mustard, Fresh Asparagus, Sweet Corn
Cardstock: White, Honey Mustard
I paired one of the Botanical images with patterned paper and Better With You stamps that were included in the Handmade with Love StampTV Kit.
Additional GKD Supplies:
Ink: Dark Chocolate
Cardstock: White, Dark Chocolate
I stamped the Botanical images with Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then painted the background using Spectrum Noir Aqua markers. I stamped the Botanical images in Grass Green when the background was dry. Finally, I added a sentiment from Gina Krupsky's Scripty Sayings.
Additional GKD Supplies:
Ink: Grass Green, Dark Chocolate
Cardstock: Watercolor Paper, Dark Chocolate, Ivory
I painted the background using Spectrum Noir Aqua markers. Once the background was dry, I stamped the Botanical images with Honey Mustard ink. I paired the images with a saying from Gina Krupsky's Scripty Sayings in Blue Denim.
Additional GKD Supplies:
Ink: Honey Mustard, Blue Denim
Cardstock: Watercolor Paper, White, Dark Chocolate
