Happy Flowers

This is the second card that we made in class on July 19.  I CAS'd it from a card of Patty Bennett's that I found on Pinterest.  I changed up the sentiment and the flowers a bit.

I love how it turned out. The flower is from some retired paper, English Garden, and I selected a few flowers for the class and then we fussy cut them out. 

Fold Rose Red card stock in half.

With long narrow stamp from Work of Art stamp set, stamp horizontal lines on the Rose Red card about 1/2" apart.

Next we adhered the dotted strip to the card layer with some Snail.

Use Paper Piercing Matt with scrap paper on top, stamp sentiment on smaller white card stock with Mossy Meadow. (Using the paper piercing mat underneath when stamping with Photopolymer stamps, gives you a better impression.)

Stamp the sentiment on the small white cardstock. We used Mossy Meadow for this. Punch each corner of the white cardstock and the green cardstock with the triple corner punch.

Adhere the white cardstock  with the sentiment to green layer.

Attach the green/white layers to card

Fussy Cut the flower (if you don’t have Stampin’ Up’s Paper Snips, I highly recommend getting them, this scissors can get in the tiniest spaces for fine cutting)

With 1” strip of Mossy Meadow punch the leaves with the Bird Builder punch (retired).

 Adhere leaves to card layer with a glue dot.

 Attach the flower on top of leaves, with Dimensionals

 

   Loop the ribbon between the layers of the card base, at the top and tie a square knot, trim ends if needed. 

 

*can substitute Old Olive, or Always Artichoke
