A Scenic Garden card

Posted on February 12, 2023February 4, 2023 by Mo Rootes

The lovely Scenic Garden stamp set was used to make this pretty water-coloured birthday card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the scenic garden card, you will need:

Soft Suede card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Soft Suede card

I mounted the image stamp onto one of the plates from my Stamparatus, inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it down onto the panel of Fluid 100 paper. Because the water colour card so textured I find I need to stamp two or three times to get a good impression and the Stamparatus makes this so easy to do.

Using a Water Painter and inkpads I coloured in the image. I used Soft Suede ink for the bench, Granny Apple Green for the grass and foliage, Sweet Sorbet for the flowers, Smoky Slate for the ground and finally Balmy Blue for the sky and to pull the whole image together.

When it was dry, I glued the water-coloured panel to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Linen Thread around the panel before mounting it onto the Soft Suede card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Amazing Year stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Soft Suede card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment apart and added it to the card front.

A trio of Red Rhinestones and a Linen Thread bow completed the card. I hope you like it.

We used the Stamparatus to stamp each of the snowflakes to create the wreath.

Each snowflake was stamped 4 times, rotating the panel of Basic White card 45° between each stamping. I created a template for making the wreath using Square Dies and some window sheet.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Orchid Oasis and then to the Parakeet Party card base.

We added a Wonderful Snowflake and the sentiment which was embossed in white on the strip of Orchid Oasis card.

Card 2 – Brushed Background card

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Orchid Oasis card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner

We stamped the snowflakes down the left side of the Basic White panel, starting with the largest. We wrapped the ribbon around the panel before sticking it to the Tahitian Tide Layer. The whole piece was then added to the Orchid Oasis card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto the Basic White circle and the scalloped circle added behind. A bow and a scattering Iridescent Rhinestones completed the card.
