Hi friends, Marla is back again with a new card share. Today’s card features one of our new Build a Bloom flowers from Part 2 of our Sensational Spring Release. We love how this finished card shines like a beautiful ray of spring sunshine. Let’s get down to creating the card, shall we?
- Die cut your flowers using the 5808-01D Build a Bloom Anemones Die.
- Using a blending brush, add a light coat of Lemon ink to the petals leaving the tips white. Repeat the process of adding ink to the leaves, flower centers and finally the stems using Melon ink.
- With an alcohol marker add detail, using a flicking motion, to the leaves and petals and dots to the center of the flowers. Again, leaving the tips of the petals and leaves white.
- Assemble the flowers adding a small piece of dimensional foam in between two layers of the petals.
- Die cut a decorative boarder from white cardstock using our 5807 Floral Edge Cuts Dies.
- Die cut an arch from white cardstock using one of our smaller 5802-05D Dash Dot Nested Arches dies.
- Ink the arch using Lemon ink.
- Add foam tape to the arch.
- Cut a piece of white cardstock to 3.25″ x 6″ and ink the bottom third using Mango ink.
- Cut a piece of white cardstock to 3.25″ x 4″.
- Using our 4306 Fall Floral Stencil and a blending brush, add the beautiful pattern to the 3.25″ x 4″ cardstock using Lemon, Mango, Melon, Fern and Juniper inks.
- Stamp the sentiment from our 37010 Hello There Stamp using Mango ink .
- Die cut the sentiment using the coordinating die.
- Add foam tape to the back of the sentiment, omitting the tape where the sentiment will overlap the arch.
- Assemble the card.
