Garden Impressions
Step it Up

Are you ready let your imagination soar?  If so, let's take Garden Impressions to the next level.

Create new looks by using different card making techniques such as die cutting and two step stamping.

The beautifully detailed dies from this suite add a romantic feel to the cards.  Cut out individual flowers or sections from the die cuts for a unique approach.

The stamp set has several sets of flowers that are created using two step stamping (and even three!).  These can be stamped in one colour by "stamping off" for different tones of the same colour or use complementary colours on each stamp.

All card bases were made from So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White 12" x 12" card stock.  They were cut using US card sizes to avoid wastage.
