Welcome to the April Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop which this month is focusing on girlie cards. If you have joined me from the lovely Laura I am sure you loved the project she shared with us. For my card today I have chosen to use the Graceful Garden stamp set, after all what girl doesn’t love a rose.
Making the Graceful Garden card
You will need;
Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” – scored at 4⅛” and with an 1” cut off the left hand front panel.
Granny Apple Green – 5½” by 2⅞” – round the upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2¾” – round the upper left corner
Wood Textures dsp – 5⅞” by ¾”
I began by stamping the large rose image onto the Whisper White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I rounded the upper right corner of the panel with the Detailed Trio Punch and set it to one side to allow the ink to dry.

When the image had dried I coloured it in using the following Blends Pens – Granny Apple Green combo and Poppy Parade combo. This is such a lovely image to colour.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink. This panel was then added to the Granny Apple Green panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Detailed Trio Punch I punched the upper right corner of the narrower card front panel and adhered the stamped panel to it using Dimensionals.

I glued a strip of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (dsp) to the back panel of the card front with the same Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Finally I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to the card front and stamped the rose in Granny Apple Green ink onto the Envelope.
