Fragrant Garden

Today I would like to show you a card I made using Spellbinders Card Creator set A & B, Spellbinders Card Creator Polka Dot and JustRite Stamper Fragrant Garden stamp.

This is such a fun stamp! I stamped it using Archival Ink – coffee and then cut it out with the Polka Dot die. I inked the edges with more coffee. For the insert I stamped a second one and using the card creator set A I cut the center out and colored it with my alcohol inks. Added a flower and charms …. what a fun project!
