Coneflower Birthday
Today’s card was created using the Coneflower Celebrations Bundle. I made the card base 6″ x 6″ using White Willow 12″ x 12″ card. I attached a piece of Coastal Cabana card to the left hand side of the card front. I embossed a piece of Coastal Cabana card using the So Swirly Embossing Folder before attaching it across the card front. I embossed a piece of Basic White card using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder which I attached to the card front using dimensionals. I die cut Basic White card four times using the flower die from the Coneflower Celebration Dies.
I also cut four leaves, two of each die in the Coneflower Celebration Dies and also two flower centres all from Basic White. I used a Blending Brush to add Coastal Cabana ink to the flowers, Granny Apple Green to the leaves and Daffodil Delight to the flower centres. I attached two flowers together overlapping the petals to create two flowers. I attached the flower head and trimmed away the underneath flowers where necessary. I attached the leaves to the back of the flowers before attaching them to the card front. The lower flower is attached using dimensionals.
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Simply Said stamp set onto Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink. I cut out the greeting using the larger banner from the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. The greeting is attached to the card front using dimensionals where necessary. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Unbounded Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink. I attached the stamped panel to Coastal Cabana card and then to the inside of the card base. This card is along way out of my comfort zone and I am still not completely happy with the way it looks but it was a learning curve and gave me an excuse to play with this lovely bundle from the Annual Catalogue. I’d love to hear what you think.
Bye for now,
Kris
