NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.
I began this project by cutting my flowers using the Charming Daisy and the Etched Crocus Stems. I also cut my leaves using Green Apple cardstock and the Budding Branches die. Once those were cut, I did some ink blending using Melon, Cantaloupe, Bubblegum and Pearfection inks. I did go back and cut the centers from black cardstock as well. I assembled the florals and set them aside while I worked on the other elements of the card.
I used two of the dies from the Petal-Tipped Labels and cut one from gold cardstock and one from Neenah 110lb cardstock. The one that was cut from Neenah was run through the die cutting machine using the Tiny Tufts Embossing Folder to add just a touch of muted interest for the background. I adhered those together and began adhering the flowers and leaves.
The sentiment, which is from the new With Thanks set, was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. The larger sentiment was stamped and embossed twice for a smoother finish. I then fussy cut the sentiments out with my scissors. I’m not the best fussy cutter, so let’s not look at those details too carefully! There are coordinating die cuts for this set, but I did not have those. Both sentiments were adhered using foam strips for a bit of dimension.
My larger background panel was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and gold splattered. This was then adhered to the card base using foam tape, and the floral panel was glued in place. To finish up, I added some gold metallic pearls to the berry portion of the Budding Branches.
That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! I love creating with florals, so this was a super fun project for me! Head on over to Simon’s website to check out the entire You Are My Favorite release, and head over to Instagram to join the hop! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!
