Hello fellow paper crafters! Today's card is inspired by Craft Roulette Episode #265's parameters. I used a mix of Spellbinders dies and some basic dies from my stash to bring this vision to life. The result? A botanical-themed card with a touch of shine, perfect for encouraging a friend or celebrating an achievement. To create this card, I started by die-cutting a variety of plant images using Spellbinders Laboratory Glass, Propagated Plants, Propagation Garden Frames, Sealed Flowers, and leaves from Sentimental Ampersand from various colored cardstock. For a fun twist, I cut test tubes from blue pearlescent vellum to mimic water and assembled the plant pieces, adding Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks to some of the lighter green die cuts for added dimension. I also assembled the test tubes, adding white measurement die cuts for detail, and distressed the Propagation Garden Frame with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

For the card base, I used Charming Patterned Paper from Scrapbook.com, die-cutting it with the Admit One A7 die, and cut another pattern using the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackable, adding some splatters of Frosty Blue glitter. I adhered the larger panel to an A7 card base and then glued the smaller, glittered panel to the center before arranging and adhering all the die-cut elements – plants, test tubes, and frame – onto the card, using foam adhesive behind some of the flowers. The "You Grow Girl" sentiment, stamped with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and die-cut with its coordinating die from Propagation Garden Sentiments, was the perfect finishing touch, popped up with foam adhesive for emphasis. I hope this inspires you to get creative with your dies and create something amazing!
