Happy Monday, y’all! Hope you had a great weekend and that…the concept of the start of a work week isn’t filling you with angst!! For some reason, Monday always feels like “Monday” to me – even having been retired for as long as I have been! Old habits die hard, huh?! 🙂
Today’s card is a CASE of a card I received from Nicole Bloxom – one of my team mates! It was a beautiful thank you card in neutral tones that I loved so…I made my version for you today! I used the Radiant Sunflowers bundle, a couple of cuts from the amazing Tile Garden die set and…a little teensy bit of Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
The layout was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I did a quick video on how to make this card – which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
I started by embossing a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock in the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder and adhering it to an Early Espresso mat for the card front.
Using the next-to-largest crimped-edge Tile Garden die, I cut out an Early Espresso square – and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue. I cut a Basic Beige square with the next-to-smallest petal-edge Tile Garden die.
Up in the top right corner of that square, I stamped the little butterfly from Radiant Sunflowers in Early Espresso ink. Then I adhered it onto the Early Espresso square with Liquid Glue.
I cut a 5/8″ x 3 1/2″ strip of Basic Beige cardstock and a 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ strip of Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered them to the card front.
On a 7/8″ x 3″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock, I stamped a Radiant Sunflowers sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. I cut an angle in the right end and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic Beige cardstock, I stamped the Radiant Sunflowers flower and the small leaf (three times) in Early Espresso ink and cut them out with the coordinating dies in the set.
Using a Pecan Pie Watercolor Pencil – I added color to the petals and center of the flower. I also added color to the veins of the leaves. I added some Early Espresso – using a Watercolor Pencil – to the middle of the flower.
Using my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush – I “pulled” color out into the petals and leaves – and added some shine to the flower center.
I tied a simple bow from two lengths of Linen Thread and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals – I added the flower – then tucked the leaves in with Liquid Glue.
I added five Cajun Craze Painted Patch Adhesive-backed Dots and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Radiant Sunflowers sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic Beige panel. In the corner, I stamped the Radiant Sunflowers flower in Early Espresso and colored it with the Pecan Pie and Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils, plus the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush. I stamped the little butterfly by the sentiment in Early Espresso – cuz it’s too cute! 🙂
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Radiant Sunflowers flower and butterfly on the front…
…and more of the Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Okay – I love this card! Thank you, Nicole, for the inspiration! The Tile Garden dies once again prove their versatility and ensure their place in my (and your!!) craft room! Radiant Sunflowers and the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder work together like it’s their job and the gorgeous Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP adds just a touch of rich color to the quiet palette.
I hope you like!
