The new Botanical Gardens suite of products in the Occasions catalog is fabulous! There are coordinating stamp sets, Framelits Dies, Designer Series Paper, vellum, embellishments, and washi tape. There’s a bundle that has three components (Botanical Blooms stamp set, Botanical Builder Framelits Die, and Botanical Gardens DSP) and it’s priced so you can earn a *Sale-a-bration item! Two of the items (Botanicals For You stamp set and Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack) are *Sale-a-bration items.

* You earn one FREE Sale-a-bration item with each $50 purchase, through March 31, 2016.

For today’s card, I used a piece of the DSP with it’s coordinating vellum. I offset the vellum from the underlying pattern just a tiny bit to give it more depth by creating a shadow effect.

I attached the vellum to the DSP with tiny dots of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue: wherever I knew it would be covered by a flower or the sentiment, and at each corner of the vellum behind one of the flower petals in the pattern.

I cut three flowers from Mint Macaron card stock with the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies, backed them with tiny scraps of Hello Honey CS, and glued them to the card front. Then I used my new Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add a bit of sparkle to them.

The card base is Whisper White Thick CS, with a layer of Mint Macaron CS, then the top layer of Botanical Gardens DSP and Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum.

The sentiment, from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set, is stamped in Hello Honey on Whisper White CS. I cut it into a strip with my Stampin’ Trimmer, then used my Paper Snips to make points at the ends. I attached it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the Envelope Liners Framelits and a piece of the same DSP to create a liner for the envelope.

These are the items I used today, as well as all the items in the Botanical Gardens suite:

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
