Prairie Grass - Blueberry Bushel

Prairie Grass + Peaceful Pier

My Prairie Grass stamp set just arrived yesterday, and I couldn't wait to use it! I was just as excited to use the sentiment from the Peaceful Pier stamp set, which also just arrived yesterday!

Sentiment from Peaceful Pier

I know that this sentiment will be use a lot! John and I pray for our family, friends, and country every single day..... so this sentiment means so much to me.

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color challenge

Prairie Grass + Peaceful Pier

I used a punched circle to create the moon, used a blending brush to apply the Blueberry Bushel ink on white cardstock, then stamped the Prairie Grass using Secret Sea. It really doesn't get much easier than this. It would be lovely to apply layers of sunset colors in place of the blue. So many options!

Prairie Grass

Dressing up the inside of the card is important to me for every card, so I just had to add a bit of the grass on the inside too!

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Blueberry Bushel: 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2". This is a top fold card.

Assembly Instructions:

Place circle for moon placement on card front (I held mine in place with a looped pc of post-it tape). Using Blueberry Bushel ink and a blending brush, apply ink to card front. I chose to go darker around the perimeter of the card front, and lighter around the masked off moon. Remove circle.
Using Secret Sea ink, stamp Prairie Grass.
Adhere card front to front matte layer. Adhere to front of card base using dimensionals.

The details were just so easy to pull together! Warning, I did get inky, but I love to get my hands deep into a project. I used a blending brush to apply Pecan Pie to Very Vanilla cardstock, which creates that warm halo. The Pear stamps were just perfect!
