It took me a couple of days, and a couple of trials and errors, but I figured out how to combine Try Stampin’ on Tuesday #559, Double Trouble #113, and Color Throwdown #696.

Without further ado, here’s my card:

Here are the three challenge banners:

Measurements:

• The Mossy Meadow base measures 4-1/4 by 11 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches.
• AFTER I embossed the Very Vanilla cardstock with the Fern 3D embossing folder, I trimmed it to 4-1/4 by 5-3/8 inches.
• The Very Vanilla for the inside of the card measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches.
• The In Good Taste wood striped DSP (designer series paper) measures 4-1/4 by 2 inches. I also trimmed a piece to 2-1/2 by 6 inches for the envelope flap.
• Finally, the Mossy Meadow DSP strip measures 5-3/8 by 1/2 inches. I used this DSP to punch a 1 inch circle for the envelope seal. Then I ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker.
• That’s it for the measurements, and all of these pieces were adhered with multipurpose liquid glue..

Leftovers:

• One of the great things about saving leftover cardstock is that I have plenty of pieces to use on other projects. In this case, I used leftovers for all the stamped and cropped elements on the front of the card. I took me a while to find a system that works for me, and one day I should share how I store my papers.

Stamping and Such:

• All the stamped elements come from the Nature’s Prints bundle. If you haven’t gotten it yet, I highly recommend adding it to your wish list.
• I stamped the two different sprays in Mossy Meadow on either Crumb Cake or Very Vanilla.
• Next, I stamped the sentiment on Very Vanilla using Soft Suede ink.
• After cropping all four pieces, I used markers to outline the Very Vanilla pieces so they would stand out from the Very Vanilla embossed background. I used my Mossy Meadow marker for the sentiment banner, and Crumb Cake for the spray of leaves.
• The Crumb Cake/Mossy Meadow sprays are adhered using multipurpose liquid glue.
• I added dimensionals under the Very Vanilla/Mossy Meadow leave spray. Once I had that adhered where I wanted it, I carefully placed dimensionals on the back of the sentiment. Basically, those dimensionals adhere the left side and the top right corner. I added multipurpose liquid adhesive for the middle of the sentiment banner where it lays on the Very Vanilla spray.
• Finally, in keeping with the sketch, I added two matte dots on the top left next to the Mossy Meadow DSP. Since odd numbers of elements please the eye, I added a tiny one to the bottom right of the sentiment banner.
• I didn’t do anything yet to the inside because of the versatility of the outside sentiment. When I’m ready to use this card, I’ll add a sentiment.
• With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
