Natural Botanicals – Missing You

Design Time: Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#508) CASE-Ing Challenge where we copy and selectively edit a card found within Stampin’ Up!’s current catalogs.  Today?  The card can be found on page 19 of the Jan – Apr Mini Catalog.

As it happens, Facebook’s Stampin’ Through the Catalog is featuring the stamp set Natural Botanicals today and I paired it up the As You See It (#345) palette

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Garden Green cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The Painted Stripes Background stamp, an On-Line Exclusive product, was inked with Garden Green ink and the Panel was pressed onto it and smoothed with my fingers.
• Tilted Rectangle Panel: (3” x 4½”) Garden Green cardstock die-cut with the (2¾” x 4¼”) Stitched Rectangle die from the Textured Notes Dies set, also an On-Line Exclusive product.
• Rectangle Panel: (2¾” x 4¼’) Basic White cardstock die-cut with the (2⅝” x 4”) Lattice die from the Linked Together Dies set, currently on the Last Chance List.
• Decoration – Flowers: Basic White cardstock scraps.
  • The Reversible Daisy image from the Natural Botanicals stamp set was stamped with Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia and Peach Pie ink.
  • The reverse side was stamped with 2^nd Generation (stamped off once) ink and the detail side was stamped again over top with the same colors at full strength.  The Flowers were fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
• Sentiment Accent Mat: (2½” x ½”) Basic White cardstock scrap.
• Sentiment Label: (2⅜” x ½”) Garden Green cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, I Miss You Already, from The Right Words stamp set, available with the new catalog, was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  Several Flowers and the Sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals and a few Antique Pearls, another new product, were added for a bit of bling.

A lovely friendship card.

I am looking forward to seeing your project based on this week’s sketch.
