I have a card to show you today using the stamp set Touches of Texture.  I liked this stamp set when I saw it in last year’s catalog, but kept putting off buying it.  I finally got it when it appeared in this year’s catalog. 

I decided to play along with two challenges. The Paper Players and Inkspire_me Challenge 

Love the colors and the layout of these challenges.  They go together so well.

I started with a card base of Highland Heather. 4-1/4 x 11 scored at 5-1/2. Using Versa Mark Ink, I stamped the front of the card base.

Whisper White mat cut 2-1/2 x 5-1/4. Stamped using one of the background stamps from the Touch of Textures Stamp Set and Highland Heather Stampin Write Marker.  After stamping wrapped a length of Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon around the edge, leaving half of it off the edge.  Adhered to the Highland Heather card base.

Cut the 2 ½ and the 3 ½ squares for the art piece using the Layering Square Framelits Dies.  I stamped the flowers from the Touches of Textures Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink. I colored the flowers using Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green, and Highland Heather Stampin Write Markers.  I popped both squares on the matted front with Stampin Dimensionals.

I used one of the background stamps to also make a border around the inside sentiment panel.  The sentiment is from the Postcard Pals Stamp Set.

That’s all for today.  Hope you enjoy my card.
