S ketches are a great way to get started designing a card. They give you a layout and then you can use whatever supplies you have on hand to do your own design from there. Also available are color combination ideas. The best way to find these is to do a web search for either “card sketches” or card color combinations” or check Pinterest using the same terms. I also like going to Freshly Made Sketches for lots of ideas. This card came from Jessica Taylor. I used the Cup of Tea stamp and die set.

Steps to Make the Card
Stamp the teacup, flower stems, and lemon onto white cardstock.
Cut out using the die cuts.
Layer the pieces using the photo above. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals for the teacup, flower stems, and lemon.
Stamp your greeting using Garden Green Ink on the card base.
Add the white insert to the inside of the card. I stamped a leaf from the stamp set in Garden Green.
I also stamped the leaf a few times on the envelope flap.
