Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on recently. I can’t get enough of the Hills of Tuscany stamp set and have used it to make a lavender farm themed card.
Colours used in the lavender farm in Tuscany card are:
To recreate the lavender farm in Tuscany card, you will need:
Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
I began by stamping the farmhouse in Moody Mauve ink onto the 5” by 3 ¼” panel of Basic White card and added the roof with Copper Clay ink. Using a Basic Black Stamp ‘n Write marker I inked around the left side of each window.

With the house in place I stamped the ground in 2nd generation Old Olive ink and added detail in full strength Old Olive.

Next, I stamped the sky in 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink and added the sun in Lemon Lolly. The trees were stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.

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.

The inked panel was glued to the Mossy Meadow panel and then added it to the Crumb Cake card case on Dimensionals.
