Day 1 of Seeds of Knowlege

It's April Release time at Papertrey Ink. I've got a few things coming your way this month and I'm here to share a card with you using my new Seeds of Knowledge stamp set and dies.

Teacher Appreciation Week is in May. May also brings flowers, spring, and renewal. Why not tie the two themes together? Seeds of Knowledge is a teacher appreciation set designed around gardening and flowers. You'd be surprised with how well the two come together.

All these images are from Seeds of Knowledge. The flowers were stamped twice. Stamped once and turned a few degrees and stamped again without re-inking.  And then you have an additional detail with the dot stamps. Lots of fun to have here.

There is a large sunburst image that fits the 2.5" Limitless Layers Circle Dies. For the solid center, I used a stencil made from a 1.75" Limitless Layers Circle and sponged ink to create the solid sun. The word "teacher" is stamped and die cut and stamped brackets frame it. Those brackets would look great with so many images and stamps in your collection! And there are a few more frame like images in the set that can be used in the same way.

A rustic watering can spills out water on the flowers as well.

The inside sentiment (which would be great on the front too) is stamped on Lexi's new Pencil Me In Paper, reinforcing both the gardening and teaching theme. YAY!

Lots more to come. Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I had to share.
