Handmade thank you card made with the Lovely Garden Suite by Stampin' Up! created by Peggy Noe of Pretty Paper Cards #lovelygardensuite #stampinup #thankfulgardenbundle #peggynoe #prettypapercards #stampingup #paperdistressing

The Lovely Garden Suite Collection is a gorgeous Online Exclusive that has everything you need to make beautiful cards! This Bundle not only has a stamp set and a die set, it also includes 5 masks for creating beautiful flowers.

Today’s card uses the Thankful Garden Bundle and the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper. I’ve decided to use two main colors, Garden Green and Daffodil Delight, and pulled out the papers that feature that color.

This card also features some paper distressing techniques. I love making shabby chic or distressed cards and the video below shows you some of these techniques.

The leaves were cut from Basic White cardstock that was colored with various Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers, and then splattered with black ink from a Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. It gives them an interesting watercolor look.

The flowers were also colored with Stampin’ Blends and shaded using several colors. Then the individual flowers were fussy cut using Paper Snips Scissors.
