Inspiration: Create with Connie and Mary #562 + Fab Friday #164
The Vertical Greetings is different from my usual esthetic, and I initially purchased it because I was interested in the vertical greetings, but I ended up using it more than I thought and really enjoying it. To decorate the card, I layered various dies and embellishments. The mini green leaves are actually from the boxwood wreaths - I snipped a few leaves away to use on the card. I tried them out on the topoiary, but they were big and looked out of place, so I used them on other parts of the design instead. The background paper is from the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper.
In order to get a multicolored stamped image, I mounted the stamp in my stamping tool and used Stampin' Markers to ink the image. The stamping tool allowed me to ink and stamp the image three times, getting a more even and more saturated image this way.
