Quiet Meadows is such a beautiful set. I have loved it from the first time I saw it. I played with it over the summer and had lots of fun creating with it.
I started with Granny Apple Green for the card base. I stamped the large flower with Granny Apple Green ink randomly on the card base. I inked up the flower stems with Garden Green and Flirty Flamingo markers. I then huffed on the image and stamped it onto the Basic White cardstock. Color in the flowers with Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink markers. Using a ruler, mark a rectangle around the flowers lightly with a pencil. Make sure when you draw your rectangle, that some of the image is outside of the rectangle. This adds a playful element to the card. Color in the rectangle with a Basic Black marker. I drew a rectangle around the outside too to add some fun. Finish card. HERE is the Facebook Live video where I show this technique and make this card.
I went more simple for this card and yet there is quite a bit of die cutting. The card base is Sweet Sorbet. I stamped Sketched Plaid on the Basic White layer with Memento ink. I die cut two of the scalloped rectangles and cut the one on the stitch marks. I stamped the flower and greeting with Memento ink. I did sponge a little Sweet Sorbet ink on the edges of the wings of the butterflies too.
Collage is not my strong suit. I always feel like it is too messy and not organized enough for my brain. I love seeing what others create with this technique. I'm just not very good at it. I do like how this card turned out. The word were stamped with Fresh Freesia and the splatter with Smoky Slate. I added a few Tahitian Tide splotches.
I have a feeling that this stamp set will be on the retiring list this spring. If you are interested in it, now is a good time to get it so you are ready to make some fantastic spring cards and you will be the rush!
