I have a couple of cards for you today that I made using the Botanical Textures Suite. The suite comes with 2 sets of Designer Series Paper, ribbon, embellishments, embossing folder and a stamp and die bundle. This is a great suite that you can use for men. I don’t know about you but I have such a hard time finding stamps and paper for males. I decided to showcase a suite because right now, til the end of June, you can purchase 1 suite and get a second suite for 50% off! If you want more deets on this, just ask me.
These are the two cards I made today.
I first made this card in black and white. Added a piece of DSP, 4″ x 5 1/4″ from the Botanical Textures. Took a piece of 3″ x 4 1/4″ Basic Black, ran it through the Cut and Emboss machine with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. Cut 1/4″ off the side to use as “ribbon” for sentiment. Stamped leaves in Gray Granite and Basic Black on a piece of Basic White die cut with the Textured Notes dies and adhered with Dimensionals. Sentiment is from Attention Shoppers stamp set, stamped in Memento black, die cut with die from Textured Notes and added with Dimensionals. Embellish with Neutral Matte Dots in black.
I decided to try and make the same card in Azure Afternoon. I took the same piece of DSP I used in the black and white card and using my Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon ink, coloured the DSP and glued to card. The dimensions for everything are the same as the black and the white card. Again, I added ink to the Textured Notes die cut and then stamped in Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel. Sentiment is also coloured with Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon, stamped in Blueberry Bushel and adhered with Dimensionals. Embellishments are Iridescent Faceted Gems.
Here are the two cards side by side. Comment and let me know which one is your favourite. I like them both and am having a hard time determining which one I like better.
These two cards are identical except the one on the left has a base card of Early Espresso and the card on the right has a base card of Pecan Pie (it’s hard to tell from the photo). Add a piece of the DSP from the Woven Textures DSP. Die cut a piece of Basic White with the Textured Notes dies. Ink the woven circle in Pecan Pie and stamp off on scrap, then stamp on die cut. Large leaves are stamped in Secret Sea and the smaller leaves are stamped in Granny Apple Green. Sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea, die cut with the Textured Notes die and adhered to card with Dimensionals. Embellishments are Pecan Pie from the Neutral Matte Dots.
