Don’t delay, this offer expires on January 14th at 11:59pm ET. My project for the hop is featuring the new Whirl Diamond Plate, which I love! Let’s get to the details!

I love the color scheme of this card. I ended up using a thank you sentiment, but I think these colors would lend themselves well to a sympathy card as well. I began this card by cutting three flowers using the SSS Etched Magnolia Blossom set from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I did some ink blending on each layer of the blossom using PFS Misty Coast ink. Once the ink blending was complete, I adhered all of the layers together using liquid glue. In the process of assembling the flowers, I decided that the center of the blossoms would be better in black, so I cut a few of those.

Moving ahead, and working on the other elements of the card, I cut the SSS Whirl Diamond Plate from Neenah 110lb cardstock and glued that to a panel of SSS Fog cardstock. I played around with the placement of the florals and decided that I needed some black leaves and used the SSS Eucalyptus Leaves die for that. I adhered the florals to the panel using foam tape and glued the leaves underneath.

For the sentiment, I used the SSS XL Greetings 3 set and stamped it on black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set that using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. I then used the coordinating die to trim it out, along with two others and adhered all of those together, for added dimension.

The sentiment was adhered to the panel using foam tape and the panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape as well. To finish up, I added some white pearls for a little bit of added interest.

That does it for this card! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Don’t forget to comment along the hop for Day 1 AND Day 2 for your chance to win! Simon will announce all of the winners on their blog on Wednesday, January 17th. Thanks again for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and stay awesome friend!

      Thank you so much! I forget too how pretty black and white can be, but I also struggle with it sometimes. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

    I think your card is just stunning. I tried to duplicate it with what I have in my craft room, but might have to purchase the magnolia & eucalyptus dies. The Whirl Diamond Plate is truly lovely for the background. Thx for sharing this very nice card!!!

      Girl!!! You better tag me on Instagram, because I want to see it!!! What you made might inspire an idea for me! Goodness knows, I need some ideas sometimes. I literally have been working on one card for the last day and a half, because I think, and try this, and try that, and then overthink, and then overthink some more! I really like the magnolia and the eucalyptus, but I also end up using the Etched Berry Branch. I’m pretty sure it was released around Christmas, and I’ve used it for Christmas things, but I’ve used it on several cards that aren’t holiday related. Anyhoo, I’m just rambling now, sorry! I’m serious, I want to see what you made!
