Can't Be Beet!!

Well, it’s day three of Memory Box's blog blitz showcasing the new release of adorable stamps and matching dies. My card today features the Garden Variety stamps and dies … oh what fun for summer cards!  Check out the Memory Box blog here.  If you’d like a chance to win a new stamp set of your choice, be sure to leave comments on any or all of the designer posts on the blog this week. Five random winners will be drawn from the comments, and you could  be one of the lucky ones!!



I cut a piece of white card stock 5” x 3.75”, and splattered it with Forest Moss Distress Ink. I die cut the Honeycomb Background and snipped out a pleasing pattern of hexagons. I sponged Dried Marigold Distress Ink over the top and adhered that to the white piece as shown. I saved a few of the little hexagons and placed them randomly back into the honeycomb.  I die cut three of the beets from the set, sponged two of them with Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks, and one with Dried Marigold and Wild Honey Distress Inks. The leaves were sponged with Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Inks, and I added a little highlight on each beet with a white gel pen.



I stamped a face onto the Marigold beet, and added some Wink of Stella over the leaves, then arranged and adhered the beets as shown. The Marigold beet was popped with foam tape. I added the sentiment from the clear stamp set, then adhered the assembled piece with foam tape to the card base.
