Good morning, friends, and welcome back! Today the
Papertrey Ink Design Team is sharing more inspiration using the newly released March stamps and dies. I have projects to share featuring
Betsy Veldman's Nesting set and
Nichole Heady's Botanical Letters, so let's get to it!
I'm going to start this morning with
Nesting. This is a gorgeous stamp set and it has become a fast favorite of mine.
I began this card by sponging a bit of Spring Rain ink onto a Rustic White card front. I speckled that with water to add a bit of texture and, once it had fully dried, stamped it with the sentiment and branches. I used second generation (meaning I stamped off once before making my impression) Cocoa Bean ink to keep things nice and soft on the branches. Then I added a woodgrain texture to the panel by using the new Woodgrain Stencil as an impression plate. That's the beautiful thing about this metal stencil - it can do double duty as an impression plate! I adhered that panel to a Classic Kraft card base and set it aside for a moment.
Next, I stamped and die cut the nest from Rustic White cardstock using blended Fine Linen and Classic Kraft inks. I added the vine in Spring Moss and Prairie Grass inks and the little eggs in Lemon Tart and Harvest Gold. Then I used the new Cover Plate: Nesting Die to cut the leaves for the branches. I sponged each one with Spring Moss ink and curled them a bit before attaching them to the card front. I love the dimension the curled leaves add to the branches!

My second card for today features
Botanical Letters.
I began by die cutting a Rustic White card base using the Noted: Scalloped A2 Die Collection. I stamped that with the basic letter forms using Ocean Tides ink and added the Wonderful Words: Love sentiment in Pinefeather underneath. I used Pinefeather ink to add the leaves to the letters, followed by Lovely Lady, Autumn Rose, and Scarlet Jewel for the flowers.
I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to line up the floral embellishments. Nichole designed the clusters with cleverly placed elements to make it a breeze. I tied Rustic Jute Button Twine around the card base, finishing in a bow at the front. And then, as a final touch, I added Glossy Accents to the itty bitty berries in the floral clusters to make them shine. I had a rustic wedding in mind while making this card. It would fit the bill nicely, don't you think?
Supplies:
Well, that's all for me today. Thank you for joining me this lovely morning! Make sure to pop in on
