The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
Using the 3rd and 4th dies in the "Arched Dies" set I cut the larger one out of Lost Lagoon and the other using Basic White card stock. I texture the Basic White piece using the "Stone and Vine" embossing folder. I glued it to the Lost Lagoon piece and then I taped that to the front of the card base about 1/2" up from the bottom and equally on each side. I set it under my beading mat to dry and to keep it flat as it dried.
Using the "Greenery Lane" washi tape, I rolled it out onto some Basic White card stock and then I cut out the pieces that I wanted to use. The tape has color sections and I chose some greens from each section.
I stamped the flowers next. They are from the "Greenery Lane" bundle and were stamped using Bubble Bath ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out with the matching dies.
The words are from the "Lovely Arrangements" bundle and were stamped using Lost Lagoon ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using a die in that same bundle. I added Dimensionals to the back and set it aside.
I removed the card base from under my mat and began adding the greenery. I glued them in place on the right side of the arch.
The flowers were glued in place and I added a little pearl to the center of each one.
I removed the backing on the Dimensionals and set the word piece in place on the lower part of the card about 7/8" up from the bottom edge of the card and the card was done.
I think this would make a great get well, Mother's Day, thinking of you, and even a sympathy card. It has a versatile look to it. It was fun to make and I really enjoy playing with that washi tape.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda

Very simple and beautiful!
ReplyDeletethis is so pretty. I love the arched dies and how that curved top adds a softness to any card design.
ReplyDeleteso pretty, I like the layering of the arch and the way you arranged the greenery on it!
