Hey Quietfire Fans! I was busy this past weekend playing with the Gentle Thoughts stamp set which is perfect for creating projects for that gardener in your life. By combining the stamp set with a few other stamps and some A Way With Words dies, they were the perfect for creating my Rosemary Notecard. This notecard is perfect to give to that gardener in your life. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite summer time beverage and learn how to recreate my notecard at home.
To start, die cut the 3/4" Stitched Fishtail Banner out of white cardstock. Apply Forest Moss Distress Ink onto the Rosemary word stamp from the Gentle Thoughts stamp set and stamp onto the fishtail banner. Place the notched end of the Stitched Fishtail Banner 2 1/4" from the Rosemary word. Run through your diecutting machine. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the banner. Apply Ground Espresso Distress Ink to the Grid Background stamp and stamp randomly onto the banner as desired. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed. Distress the edges of the banner. Ink the edges of the banner using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut the Flourished Oval Frame out of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the frame and sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves embossing powder over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.
Die cut a 2 1/2" Stitched Oval out of white cardstock. Apply Forest Moss Distress Ink onto the Rosemary stamp from the Gentle Thoughts stamp set and stamp onto the middle of the stitched oval. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Antique Linen Distress Ink over the entire surface of the stitched oval. Apply Ground Espresso Distress Ink to the Grid Background stamp and stamp randomly onto the stitched oval as desired. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed. Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From the Garden Goddess patterned paper, choose a green paper. Die cut the 3" Stitched Rectangle out of one side of the patterned paper. Die cut the 3 1/2" Stitched Rectangle out of the other side of the patterned paper. Distress the edges of both stitched rectangles. Ink the edges of both stitched rectangles out of Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Adhere the 3" Stitched Rectangle to the 3 1/2" Stitched Rectangle.
Adhere the flourished oval frame to the stitched oval. Foam square the stitched oval to the middle of the 3" stitched rectangle.
Wrap some twine around the bottom of the oval. Foam square the rosemary banner to the bottom of the rosemary image on the stitched oval. Tie a bow with the twine.
To finish off the card, cut a cardbase that measures 4 3/4" x 7", score at 3 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
Here are a few closeup photos of the finished Rosemary Notecard.
