Gina K. Botanicals Blog Hop.

Hello and welcome to another Gina K. Blog Hop! Tonight we are featuring the new Botanicals stamp set with a special technique themed blog hop event! I worked on these two techniques I love: Distressing and Sewing.
So, for tonight I made 3 cards using these 2 techniques, shall we start?

Happy for you Card: I stamped the BG image (love this one!) onto a piece of Kraft CS in Memento Rich Cocoa. I matted this with a piece of Red Hot CS. I added on top a piece of Fresh Asparagus, then torn apart. I stamped the flowers in White CS in Real Red Ink. The I added some straight stitches, 2 gold brads and some Jute twine. The card base is White.

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa (Tsukineko), Real Red (SU), Tea Dye Distress (Ranger).

Thank you Card: I started this card with a piece of Chocolate Brown. I stamped the BG in Antique Linen Distress and leaves in Peeled Paint Distress onto a piece of Ivory CS. I matted this with a piece of Fresh Asparagus, stitched them together and distressed the borders. I stamped the sentiment in a piece of Sweet Corn CS in Memento Rich Cocoa, sponged the borders, finally I added some Green Lime Ribbon. Just add a piece of Scor-Tape and fold your ribbon! VOILA! I added a button and some Jute twine.
