Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

Details:

• The card front opens at the bottom only.  
• I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
• There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
• The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

Measurements:

• Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
• Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
• White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

Here's how:

• I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
• Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
• Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat.

The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

You can see a video on this technique here.
