Flowers for a Friend


Welcome
Meet today's card.
So glad to be using some of the Gel Plate prints I made....you know the ones that didn't quite work out the way you had planned.  
They work so well for die-cutting.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began by cutting the front panel from some white cardstock and embossed it using a folder from Sizzix.
  • I glued that onto an A2 card base and set it aside.
  • Next, using one of my 'not so good' Gel Plate prints, I die cut the flowers using Brushstrokes 1 & 2 die from Tim Holtz.  I stacked them together in order and glued them all down over the white card base.
  • Using some matching cardstock, I cut out the leaves with dies from the same sets and glued them behind the flowers.
  • I stamped the sentiment onto another small piece of cardstock with some black Versafine and pop dotted it over the embossed background near the top.

Thanks for taking a look.

Supplies
Stamps- Everyday Sentiments (YNS)
Inks- Versafine Clair black
Paper- heavy white (Scribes Nook- Waterloo, Ont.)
Accessories and Tools- Brushstrokes 1&2 (TH); Spellbinder Platinum machine;

  7. I'm sure we would all think those prints were gorgeous before, but they sure did make fabulous die-cut flowers, too, Karen!
