Hi, Happy Friday! What are your favorite stamping supplies? Do you have certain products that you use in your card designs as often as possible? Today, I’m sharing a card that I made with two of my favorite stamping products – Bold Prints background stamps and Ombre Ink pads.

To make my card, I started by stamping the beautiful, new Bamboo Bold Prints background stamp onto a panel of celadon layering paper with Ombre Lime to Forever Green ink. The leafy bamboo shoots make a pretty nature background for many styles of cards. When I inked the large stamp with the ombre ink pad, I inked across the stamp’s center first. Then, lifting the opposite side of the ink pad, I inked the upper half of the stamp with Lime Green ink and the lower half of the stamp with Forever Green ink.

Next, I wrapped the left side of the panel with a strip of vellum and then secured the panel to a celadon card base with foam tape. I embossed three butterflies from the Origami Animals set onto poppy, pine, and aubergine layering papers and then I used the coordinating Origami Animals Frame Cuts to cut around each image. I secured the die cut butterflies to the vellum with foam tape.

To finish the card, I added a lovely script sentiment from the Color Layering Water Lilies set that I embossed onto a narrow strip of cardstock. I also scattered a few Ombre Green Sequins across the card for a little bit of shine.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope that you have a great weekend and I hope that you also find some time to enjoy some of your favorite stamping supplies soon!
