Using the direct to cardstock technique, I swiped the edge of the Crumb Cake ink pad across the bottom of panel, I did this repeatedly to give the impression of soil.

Using the dotty image I stamped in the rows of lavender stems in Old Olive ink making them narrower at the top by the farmhouse and wider near the bottom to give some perspective. The same stamp was used with Gorgeous Grape ink to give the impression of flowers.

To recreate the ink embossed panel card, you will need:

Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”

Using the back edge of the Pool Party ink pad, I dragged it lightly and repeatedly, across the top of the embossed panel adding colour to the top of the embossed pattern.

The sentiment, from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set was stamped onto the smaller stitched shape using Pretty Peacock ink. The label was then mounted onto the larger label with liquid glue. The whole piece was then added to the card on Dimensionals.
