Fourth Sweet Stems card

 I made a fourth one!  I had die cut the Sweet Stems background die from Cocord & 9th in five colours of cardstock, and I like to use up all my bits and pieces if at all possible.  This time I used the coordinating stencils to ink in the flowers and foliage, and used the outline, background and middles from my die cut pieces.

I added a sentiment that was hot foiled in gold on black cardstock from the You Are Everything Sentiments set from Spellbinders... plus a few black gems.

Bright Sweet Stems

 I've only used this die once, making some pretty pastel cards, so decided to go in a brighter direction this time.  This is the Sweet Stems stamp & die set.

I cut the background die in five colours of cardstock, then started to mix and match to put my cards together.

I used my Pinterest board to find my colour inspiration, and honestly this doesn't take too long to put together!  

For this one, I added some pale blue to the mix, from a previous time that I'd cut out this set.

I used the coordinating stamp set for the 'good day' senitment, and the other two are the Dashing Sentiments set from Pigment Craft Co.

Sweet Stems

So excited to have added this set to my craft room!  This is the Sweet Stems product suite from Concord & 9th that came out last year.

The main panel is all one die, so I cut it out in white, aqua, pale yellow and a moss green.  Then I mixed and matched the pieces to put my Hello card together.

I got creative with my next two cards, as I really wanted the leaves to be green, so for the card with the aqua frame, I used yellow leaves and blended some Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink on them.  I also added a little Speckled Egg ink to the centers of the white flowers, to make the centers stand out more.

The first two cards are using the Dashing Sentiments from Pigment Craft Co., double layered.

For the Yellow framed card, I used the white leaves & stems, adding some Scattered Straw and Bundled Sage ink onto each, and added some Speckled Egg ink to the flower centers.

For this card, I used the sentiments included in the set, which you can create several different sayings.
