Seedling Gift Card...

This cute stamp from QKR Stampede is so full of summer it just begs to be bright and cheerful!  I decided it would look fab on a little gift card made to hold some seed packets.



Recipe & Method:
1. To make the base of the card you need to cut an A4 piece of card down on the long side to 29cm, so you are use cutting off 7mm.  The score along this long side at 13cm and 16cm.  Flip it around to the short side and score at 5cm .  The 5cm is the part you will need to fold up to make the pocket.  You need to cut out the small middle square and fold and stick the pocket sides together.
2.  Colour and cut the Digi Stamp, then layer it to Yellow Cardstock.
3. Mat and layer Yellow card stock to the front of the card, then layer the spotty paper on top.  Stick a strip of Green patterned paper down the centre of the card.
4.  Adhere ribbon around the card, so that it will tie at the outer edge.
5. Attach the stamped image.
6.  Embellish with sentiment and gardening tools, the gardening tools I used were a Quickut Die that I have had in my stash for years.

I coloured the image using Promarkers: Sunflower, Canary, Sky Blue, Azure, Pumpkin, Spice, Burn't Orange, Magenta, Forest Green.

The Digital Image can be found here

This stamp would also look great on little note cards, which I am going to try next, no doubt I will post them very soon!
