Hi everyone!
It has been a rough week with all this winter weather, so I'd like to inspire you with a spring themed birthday card.
To create this card I die cut the Floral Bloom Oval Frame three times, once from watercolor paper and twice from gold metallic paper. I kept the inside pieces from the watercolor die cut and taped them in the back to keep the pieces in place. I sponged the die cut with Picked Raspberry and Peeled Paint Distress inks.
For the card front I applied Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and a little Picked Raspberry distress ink to the paper and misted it with water to blend the inks. I spattered the card front with gold ink. Once the paper was dry I glued the watercolor die cut to the card front. I only glued the oval frame and not the flowers so that I could tuck some of the gold die cuts behind the flowers.
I took one of the gold die cuts and glued it on top of the watercolor one, and the second one I cut the flowers and leaves apart and tucked them behind the other flowers. Once the flowers were in place, I glued all the other flowers down.
I stamped and embossed the sentiment on a strip of cardstock and sponged the edges with Peeled Paint distress ink. Using foam tape I adhered this to the card front.
To finish the card I glued the card front to a green cardstock layer and adhered this to a white card base. I added some pink Nuvo dots to add a little texture.
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend!
Supplies
This is beautiful! Lovely to look at amidst the snow! Spring is coming, I think!
So pretty–it’s like stained glass on a card!
Beautiful Card, love the colors you used as well
as the techniques for your background. What kind of
gold ink did you use?
Hi Yolanda, I used a Versa Mark ink pad and embossed the saying with ranger gold embossing powder. The spatters were Heidi Swapp Gold Ink spray.
This is beautiful, Donna!
