Thanks for joining us for the Summer Garden Blog Hop! On this hop, we're featuring the Simon Says Stamp + Mama Elephant collaboration of a stamp and die set called Flower Garden. You can purchase these separately as the Summer Garden stamp set and Summer Garden dies.
I used Mama Elephant's Femme Frames Creative Cuts to create the card base and the angled panel. Notably, the stitched rectangle in its original size wasn't wide enough to create the panel so I used part of a broken cutting plate to die cut half of it. I explain it all in my video:
All of the inks are Hero Arts shadow inks, with the exception of poppy chalk ink, and I used Martha Stewart microbeads to embellish the centres of the flowers. The patterned papers are from Dear Lizzy's Daydreamer 6x6 paper pad and Echo Park's Keepin' Cozy 6x6 paper pad.
