To make this card

 

1. Using spray adhesive glue 2 sheets of funky foam together (any colour will do as the colour does not transfer). Allow to dry.
2. Using a Tonic circle die, punch funky foam to make a stamp. (NOTE : Spellbinders does not work for this as it does not have the depth in the cutting surface)
3. If you have an acrylic block large enough (lucky you) use it to stamp with, if not do as I did and glue together 2 sheets of thick acetate to replace the acrylic block.
4. Using Versamark stamp directly to the centre of your card, apply sparkle/glitter embossing powder and heat emboss.
5. Using dye based ink distress the top and the bottom halves of the embossed circle in green and blue to represent the sky and grass. Buff over with kitchen roll to remove excess ink.
6. On white card stamp the Grape Hyacinth with a black pigment ink ( I used Brilliance) and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
7. Colour as desired with promarkers.
8. Using a versamark pen fill in the coloured areas of the stamp by dabbing (some colour will transfer to the pen) then cover with clear embossing powder and heat again.
9. Cut out the Hyacinth and mount onto the card using foam pads or your choice of 3D glue.
10. Add white corner dies and Hyacinth label to complete.
