I've had this blue and white card for quite sometime, unfortunately one only sheet of A4, as used on the above card. Blue is my number one favourite colour, and how I wished I did have another sheet after I'd stamped and embossed the scroll work at the bottom of the card, you live and learn! I should have used a grey ink but it's now done and I can't do anything about it
I folded half of the card front back, scored it and added the pale blue pearl brad. Stamped and embossed the design on the bottom of the card, then stamped a verse onto an oval die cut (out of my 'die cut shapes' box) and adhered it to the card inside
I also added one layer each of the smallest blue and pink flower, to the inside
I stamped a full A4 white cardstock using the 'Arianna Blooms' Flower & Die Set and die cut them. I used finger daubers and 'Rose Bud' & 'Danube Blue' inks to colour each layer of flowers. With one layer of the smallest die cut I shaped and moulded it into a bud, the other layers were shaped and adhered together, placing the bud onto the final layer
I used 'A Wink Of Stella' on each petal, then, squeezing a good size 'dollop' of wet glue into the bud centres, I added the stamens, one by one
Using the second largest die from the 'Arianna Lace' Die Set, I die cut 2 of these from white cardstock and glued the flowers onto them
These were then adhered to the card front
To complete I added NUVO Crystal Drops Gloss in 'Blue Babe' around the scroll on the front of the card

ReplyDeleteYet again, its those flowers. We could sit next to each other and i mirror imaging what you do and id bet my last penny that mine would look totally different - honest. Its ridiculous how, by following your steps, the end results are miles apart - WHY is this so :(
ReplyDeleteHowever, YOUR card and flowers ARE beautiful xxx
