This BIC wasn’t very easy for me. It took me quite a while to decide what layout I wanted to use. Colors were no problem. I picked: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango and a touch of Old Olive (plant on top of one shelf). I finally decided to use the shelving as my inspiration for the card.
I had planned to use a background stamp or something on the back panels since they could only be 7/8″ wide.
But then I decided to use the stamp set Eastern Influences. The colors seem to fit. I changed the layout up a little bit and came up with this card:
The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half.
A 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Haiku Designer Paper was layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Basic Gray cardstock and the edges were paper pierced.
5/8″ wide Olive grosgrain ribbon was tied around the lower third of the layers. Three 1/2″ black circles were taped to the bottom right corner. Those were topped with brads from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware kit. In the center of each flower brad a small olive circle was adhered and topped with Dazzling Diamond Glitter.
I stamped the flower branch from Eastern Influences in Black Stazon on a 1 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock. It was colored with Aqua Painter and Classic inks (Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Close to Cocoa and Going gray) and cut in three 1 1/8″ x 1 7/8″ pieces. Those were adhered to a 2 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Basic Gray cardstock which was layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Basic Black carsdtock. The edges of the Shimmery White cardstock were paper pierced and the image layers were attached with dimensionals to the card front.
For the sentiment layers I inked the bird stamp from the same set in Tangerine Tango, stamped it off once on scrap paper and then stamped in on Shimmery White. I stamped the Beautiful symbol over it in Black Stazon and punched it out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch. That was layered first on a 1 3/8″ Basic Gray circle, then on a black scallop circle. I added paper piercing under the sentiment and then attached it to the card with dimensionals.
Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles

I’ve been interested to see this stamp used. I quite like it, and then I think it’s too rough and rugged looking. But this is lovely and the sketch is great too, I’ll be using that for sure.
**THUD** Wowzers, Beate… I mean seriously… WOWZERS!
very cool sketch and the stamp is just perfect for this technique!
I LOVe what you did with this! If it wasn’t easy for you, you sure made it look easy! It’s beautiful!
