Rooted in Nature, with texture!

Tuesday night I watched my upline demo her pretty card with the Rooted in Nature Bundle. And today I made the card with the supplies she sent us... Here is the card:

The coloring on the tree and the textured leafs in the background make for a striking card!

Tip: When I textured the 2nd leaf, I made sure I only rolled the sandwich into the BigShot as far as I needed to get over the framelit and reversed it. This way I didn't risk flattening the first embossed one...

Oh another tip: We had applied inks to the tree stamp with markers, then thumped a 2nd green over the first green... After that we spritzed water over the stamp. You do want to do this very lightly... or once you stamp it will run a little, which it did on my card. I let it dry first to see  if I'd like it...Well I wanted it a bit crisper and since I've used the stamparatus to stamp, I just inked my stamp up in Mossy Meadow  and stamped right over it. Boy that really made it look crisp and detailed. Love the outcome!

Hello glimmering Botanicals

As announced yesterday... I am back to share the card I made for my team meeting today.... Here it is:

And a close up on the custom dyed flower:

This time I used Cajun Craze ink with a sponge dauber to dye the Dazzling Details Glimmer Paper... Again... added clear embossing powder over it, then used heat tool to lock it all in..so easy -. LOVE it! Remember you can do the same technique to our glimmer Washi tape see the video posted here!

You might wonder why I didn't list the Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper in the supply list... WELL, it is part of the BUNDLE.  How cool is that...

Oh and a little tip... the fern and the center layer of the flower are pretty delicate, so I use the precision plate to cut those out. This way all the little pieces cut completely and won't tear when removing them from the cardstock after cutting...
