Apothecary Art Stamp-a-Stack

Here is one of the designs for this month's Stamp-a-Stack, using Framelits and the Apothecary Art stamp set in the new Mini:


To make these cards, all you need is four A5 card bases (I used Sahara Sand), an A5 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock (to stamp the Apothecary Art images on) and a piece of cardstock that is slightly smaller than a cardfront (mine is Early Espresso 10cm x 14.3cm). Very economical!
Next, stamp the Apothecary Art images in Early Espresso ink on the Very Vanilla cardstock and use the Framelits to cut them out. Use the 4 smallest Framelits to cut out several (nested) frames from the piece of Early Espresso cardstock. Then, simply piece the cards together! I also cut some banners using scraps of Very Vanilla cardstock and the Petal Cone Die (it has a very handy Banner shape on it)
I stamped the gorgeous blossom image from Elements of Style in Versamark ink for the background. I coloured the images with ink pads and Blender Pens - in Bravo Burgundy and Always Artichoke. And for a finishing touch, some pearls.
