I took a damp baby wipe, folded it into a rectangle roughly the size of my image, and placed it in an empty clear stap case. I added drops of Shaded Spruce and Garden Green inks using re-inkers to make an ink palette.

Using the custom-made ink pad, I inked up my chosen image from the Artfully Layered stamp set and stamped it over the inked circle. The decorated panel was glued to the Sahara Sand layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Shaded Spruce card base with Dimensionals.

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Artistic Dies, I die cut the spray of leaves from the panel of Basic Black, taking care not to get close to the edges.

I used the following dark Blends Markers – Magenta Madness, Blackberry Bliss, Night of Navy and Fresh Freesia to scribble blocks of colour onto the Vellum. I dipped an almost empty Clear Wink of Stella Brush to splatter and dab 90% alcohol onto the Vellum allowing the ink to spread and pool. The panel was then set aside to dry.

When the Vellum was dry, I trimmed off ¼” from the side and the bottom to decorate the inside panel and the envelope. The Vellum was then added to one the Basic White panels using tiny dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front with liquid glue.

I love this card; The colours work so well together and I especially love the slight sparkle the Clear Wink of Stella has given to the Vellum. So pretty.
