Eat Your Veggies...from a Paintbox!

Happy Friday!  Jean Okimoto here, with a simple stenciled veggie garden card for you.  The Bright ColorBox Multi-Color Paintbox Pigment Inkpad has the perfect colors for a summer garden card...just what I needed for my carrots, radishes and beets*.  It's a great collection of rich, vibrant inks that are perfect for blending and stenciling.   (*Yes, they're turnips on the right, but beets look prettier!)

Metal Dies from Memory Box and Poppystamps - and the Sunburst 6x6 Template from The Crafter's Workshop - help create this bright, sunny card.

Use the Vegetable Border Die, plates and embossing mat to emboss the pattern onto watercolor paper.  Diecut a vellum stencil of Vegetable Border.

Use a chalking tool and a pompom to stencil the Paintbox inks thru the vellum stencil.

Heat-emboss the border with detail clear powder.  Trim the watercolor paper.

Place the Sunburst Stencil over Squash Cardstock and spritz it with the new  Tangerine Stephanie Barnard Sprays!   Spritz an additional 2.5" alongside it to diecut the text.  Dry the ink and trim the stenciled section to a 3-3/8" square.

Diecut "grow" from the spritzed cardstock with the Parker Lower Alphabet.  Diecut two brackets from the Parker Number Set from Key Lime Cardstock.

Cut, score and fold an 8-1/2" x 3-3/4" card of Parsley Cardstock.  Assemble the card.  Attach mini-brads near the left edge.
