Welcome back

Today I will be featuring a card that was going to be my first design for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team, but unfortunately, I was unable to use it as the Elegant Sentiment stamp and die set was sold out.  I was very sad to see it go as it was so easy to add a beautiful sentiment on a card.

Materials used:

HCD1-7110 Classic Rose Die

HCPC-3752 Classic Rose Stamp

HCD1-7113 Blushing Rose Stem Die

HCPC-3755 Blushing Rose Stem Stamp

HCSD1-2012 Elegant Sentiments (NLA)

TSMP301 Memento Northern Pine ink

TSMP707 Memento Bamboo Leaves

TSMP900 Memento Tuxedo Black

TSMP709 Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink

TSMP103 Memento Canteloupe ink

TSBL34 Brilliance Orchid ink

HCD1-712 Fleur Border Basics

HC-401CST1 Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit

HCDA2-450 Stack and Store Daubers

159723 Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive

Other products – White cardstock, Anna Griffin Aviary embossing folder, die cutting machine

Instructions:

Cut a piece of white cardstock at 10” x 7”, score and crease at 5” to make a 7” x 5” base card.

Cut a piece of white cardstock 5” x 7” and using the lace border and edge die from the HCD1-712 Fleur Border Basics die cut the edge as shown.  Emboss the top part with the Aviary embossing folder and adhere to the top half of the card.  Adhere the lace edge to the embossed edge as shown.

To make the leaves stamp the images from the HCPC-3755 Blushing Rose Stem Stampwith Northern Pine and sponge with Rhubarb Stalk and Bamboo Leaves inks.  Die cut and shape using the Deluxe Shaping Kit.  Add along the curved border with Dries Clear Glue and foam squares.

To make the flowers stamp the images from the HCPC-3752 Classic Rose Stamp using the Orchid ink.  Sponge the centres with the Canteloupe ink and die cut using the coordinating die.  Sponge the edges of the petals with the Orchid ink front and back and ink the centres of the backs with Canteloupe ink.  Using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit shape the petals into a ball.   I have used the very small 2 mm tip to get more shaping of the petals.  Starting with the smallest petals and using the Art Glitter Dries Clear glue the petals together in a ball.  Add the next sized petals over the smallest petal layers to create a bigger ball.  Continue to add the petal layers for a ‘bourbon rose’ shape.  Use less or more layers to create a variety of sizes.  Add the flowers as shown in the photo.

Stamp the image from HCSD1-2012 Elegant Sentiments (NLA) in Tuxedo Black ink, die cut with the coordinating die and add to the bottom of the card.

Happy Crafting
