A chance to win a coupon, a free gift with purchase AND tons of inspiration .. YES PLEASE! My project for today is featuring the new I’m Sorry die cut in my usual floral fashion! Let’s go ahead and go through the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by cutting a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock down to the same size as the gold thin frame and splattering it with gold acrylic paint. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the other elements of the card.

The I’m Sorry sentiment was cut once, and I die cut a few white flowers using the Cosmos Duo set, and cut the centers of the flowers from yellow cardstock. The flowers needed a little bit of shading so I added that with some Gravel ink. The centers also got some shading using Sunbeam ink. The flowers are two layers because I wanted more fullness, so I went ahead and assembled all of the pieces using liquid glue.

Now here is where things get a little wonky! I needed a longer stem for the flowers so I die cut the stem from the Divine Peony set, and I die cut a few leaves from the Winsome Branches set to go along with the stem from the Cosmos set. Light ink blending using Cabbage ink was applied to the stems and leaves.

To assemble the card, I glued the gold frame to the splattered panel, added the I’m Sorry and then added the one long stem. The first two flowers were then adhered using foam strips, I added the second stem, along with the third flower and then added the leaves atop the stems. The panel was then adhered to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Be sure to comment along the Hop for your chance to win!
