The sentiment, from the Sending Smiles stamp set, was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I trimmed it down and glued it to the back of the stamped panel. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A Trio of Striped Botanical cards

Here are a trio of striped botanical cards inspired by cards made by Dena Rekow of the Creativity Cave. I love the look of this technique and wanted to use it to make an anniversary card for my husband.

Colours in these cards are:

 

To recreate these cards, you will need:

3 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner – I used Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party & Fresh Freesia
3 Basic Black card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corners
3 Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corners
3 coloured panels – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corners – I used Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party & Fresh Freesia
3 Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corners

 

I used a Stamparatus to stamp the image from the Botanical layers stamp set, any stamp positioner would work. The 3 panels of 5” by 3¼” Basic White card and the coloured panels of the same size were mounted on the platform, one at a time and the image stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on each layer.

The coloured panels were then cut down in ½” increments starting at the bottom. The first ½” piece was discarded and the 3 other ½” strip in each colour were put to one side.

Taking one of the ½” strips from each colour, I lined them up on the stamped Basic White panels making sure that the pattern matched and glued them in place. This was repeated for all three panels.
