More Garden Treasures

Today I'm showing a second card made with Julie Hickey's Garden Treasures stamp set.

I have written a step by step for you but, if you are short on time, you can hop on to this Facebook post and slideshow:



As you see in the picture on the right, I made myself an octagonal template to use with my stamping platform to make it easy to stamp equally spaced motifs.



1. I first placed the central sentiment to be sure I would not encroach with any other stamps later.



2. I placed my first foliage branch on the template to fit as closely as I could around the sentiment, making sure it would nearly fit I 1/8th of a circle.





3. Placing my cardstock centrally on top of the template I am starting to stamp




4. rotating the hexagon 1/4 turn each time. I now place a second motif directly on the stamped cardstock and pick it up with the stamping platform.


5. I carry on placing the stamps and stamping with different colours of ink.
Note that I remove the used stamp each time but I left the sentiment until the end.



6. To complete the circle I place the first stamp again to fit between the other motifs. I finish with the sentiment with Walnut Distress Oxide ink.

After all the stamping I added some colour with pencils and some Nuvo Drops on the green foliage.
