Colorful Chrysanthemums
by Lindsay

Hello!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I have a colorful spring card for you using a couple new dies. Chrysanthemum's come in a variety of colors, and I wanted to bring my favorite three of those onto my card!

I started by die cutting the Chrysanthemum Bouquet from a variety of colored card stocks, along with white, and separating, and trimming the pieces. I adhered the white base die cut onto my card front, and began inserting my color pieces with a small dot of liquid glue, and my tweezers. I know it takes a bit of time, but it is relaxing, and it beats doing housework! I am always happy with how the inlaid die cut technique looks, making all that work, worth it.

I chose to create depth within my inlaid die cut flowers, by using a light and a dark of each color, and adhering the green stem right over the white.   

To finish my card, I used the Blooming Chrysanthemum die, using the butterflies, adhering them with foam tape. I added some glitter to them with a Zig Wink of Stella, and then coated them with Ranger Glossy Accents. 

I hope you've enjoyed, and are inspired to create something with these new dies! They are so much fun, and there are so many things you can do with them. Have a great day!

  3. Love the colours and the inlaid technique and anything crafty is better than housework including looking at your pretty card, thanks for sharing.

  7. Lindsay, this is just beautiful. I really love the bright colours you’ve inlaid. Just stunning!

  8. Beautiful card! This would make a lovely Mother’s Day card. Great tip, to use a darker shade of paper for the center of the flower, I will use that in the future.
    The little butterflies are the perfect embellishment. Thank you for sharing today.
