Woodgrain Garden Greetings by Jean Okimoto

Say thanks with a splash of flowers and leaves from our latest releases - layered over a faux tile woodgrain background. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a slimline design for anyone who loves flowers.

To create the look of woodgrain tiles with the White Woodgrain Paper Pack - score it in 1" sections. Lay it on a hard, flat surface and brayer it with Starlite Black Brilliance (used here) or Graphite Black Brilliance. The debossed scorelines won't receive the brayered ink. Trim it to 5-¼" x 2-⅜". Attach it to a white slimline card (3-½" x 8-½").

Diecut Charlotte Blooms and Leaves, Ruffled Blooms and Layered Fresh Flowers from red and pink 6x6's in the Berry Red Collection.

Cut the 6-stem Lavender Bouquet piece and the leaves from the Charlotte Blooms and Leaves sets from the Lush Green Collection sheets.

Cut the flower centers from the Charlotte and Ruffled Blooms sets from the dark blue/black sheet in the Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad.

Stamp the greeting - from the Big and Little Reverse Words Clear Stamp Set - on a Lush Green sheet with Shady Lane VersaFine Clair. Quickly emboss it with detail clear powder. Trim it with the tab die that's part of the stamp set.

Attach the leaves and flowers to the background. Attach the greeting with foamtape. Add clear Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Gather your Memory Box flower dies and cut a stash of them from our 6x6 paper collections. Cut some leaves too. They'll be ready for your next card, layout or mixed media project. Make some quick gift tags too.

Thanks for visiting - see you again this weekend!
