BOTANICAL COLOR BLOCKS.

   Hi friends!



Playing along with this FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES Challenge
(ends 4/13).
Congratulations on your first FMS sketch Donna!


and this CAS ON FRIDAY Challenge
#331 Botanical (ends 4/15)

I started with stamping the script in Versamark ink on white card stock and then heat embossing it with clear powder. Next I inked up the botanical blocks and stamped them in the colors as shown, and trimmed them to size. They are each slightly raised from the base panel by a strip of scrap heavyweight card stock (backer for comic storage I think). 

*TIP* (If you use foam tape or double stick ATG tape, and adhere something incorrectly, a paper-thin metal Cricut small spatula actually allows you to lift a lot of pieces. I had the bottom orange piece on upside down, after I purposely stamped so the script would be mostly continuous 😂)




SUPPLIES

botanical rectangles stamps - Hero Arts Every Happiness set #40-198
script words stamp - Stampin’ Up! En Francais background
clear embossing powder
Adirondack inks - Juniper, Salmon & Aqua
preprinted sentiment strip


Thanks for stopping in today!
