SUMMER SOLSTICE

Happy May 1!  Calendar-wise, it has been Spring for the last two weeks.  Hah!  So while the weather outside my window can't seem to fully break loose from winter (is snow really in the forecast? LOL!), it is a perfect time to play with ink and stamps in the craft room. This card features the Summer Solstice stamp set (retiring May 31)
Triple layer stamping gives it that distinctive look. (Message me if you would like to know the measurements for layers and mats.)

 To build this card:
1. Stack Very Vanilla card stock layers, large to small, each centered on the layer below.
2.  Stamp all three layers while stacked together:  Background is from French Foliage (also retiring) inked with So Saffron.  Flowers are inked in Cajun Craze, while leaves are Garden Green.  Sentiment is from Petite Pairs (yeah! not retiring) inked with Basic Black.
3. Follow the picture to adhere the stamped images to their mats and the card base (Cajun Craze card stock)

Hope you like today's card.
