Field Flowers Birthday

This card is the make and take for a workshop I am holding today.  Hello to the ladies at Pottsville.

I love this fancy fold design.  I used Early Expresso as the base card and added accents on the side panels in Daffodil Yellow.  These Daffodil Yellow panels have been embossed using the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.  The bottom edge of the card has been adorned with a strip of Daffodil Delight card punched using the new Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.  For the main image panel the leaves from the Field Flowers stampset were stamped using Old Olive ink.  I stamped the small flower  using Cherry Cobbler ink directly onto the card.  The base image was stamped off once onto scrap paper.  The large flower was stamped onto scrap Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink, again the base image has been stamped off once and cut out.  This flower has been attached to the image panel using dimensionals.

The greeting panel was created by firstly embossing a piece of Old Olive card with the Oval Designer Frame Embossing Folder.  I then used my paper snips to trim around the image.  I stamped “birthday wishes” from the Sincere Salutations stampset onto Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink and punched it out with the Extra Large Oval Punch.  The punched greeting fits perfectly inside the embossed frame.  I attached the image panel to the card using dimensionals.

This is such a fun card to make and so easy.  I found instructions to make my card on Kelly Acheson’s blog, although I did adjust the size so that I could get two cards from one A4 sheet.

If you haven’t already made one of these, give it a try, I’m sure you will be surprised at how easy it is to create.

Bye for now, Kris.
