Inked and Layered

I am using one of my most used sets that is retiring . It is the Inked and Tiled set. I love the flower as a stand alone one. Today I have layered it with the matching Inked Botanicals DSP.

Stamps

All of the images used are from the Inked & Tiled stamp set. I love this large flower because it can stand alone and make a quick card. The distressed look is also part of why I love it. And I am definitely going to miss it. So it had to get one last inking. All of the stamps on the card are from this set. Another reason it is a favorite.

The flower was inked with Stampin’ Write Markers in Crushed Curry and Pretty Peacock. For the small flower buds, I did the same thing. And the small one is also stamped on the inside of the card. The background leaves is one stamp that is inked with Pretty Peacock as well. Both of the stamped images are fussy cut. The partner to this set is a punch bundle. And they are retiring as well.

Papers

There is quite a mix of papers on this card. I wanted to use several of the Inked Botanicals Designer Series paper and I love how perfectly they mix. The dotted background layer, the checked and the darker green floral are all from the DSP pack. But the flower pot is actually from Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper. That pack happened to be on my desk as I was looking for a lighter color for the pot. It seemed to fit perfectly.

Extras

The most unusual item on this card is the flower pot. It is actually the smaller of the solid egg from the Excellent Eggs Dies. I had die cut one and not used it. It also was on my desk and I realized by cutting off the upper third that it would make a perfect flower pot. So I cut the DSP I had chosen and voila, Flower pot!

There are several finishing touches to this card. The sentiment is stamped and then punched using the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch. I added some adhesive to the back of the circle and then looped Linen Thread around to give some natural texture to the card. And finally comes the bling! These are the Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Gems. Only the Pretty Peacock ones were used. They are scattered around to give some added textures.
