Enchanting Poppy Stems add spring color to a slimline friendship card. Layer them over an ink-blended backdrop and the Cascadia Background Strip. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with another beautiful, versatile floral set from our February 2022 Collection.
Cut white cardtock with the 7-¼” x 2-¼” Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangles die. Cut the rectangle with Cascadia Background Strip. Blend blue, green, purple and teal inks on smooth white cardtock – use a piece large enough for the background strip and the greeting background.
Dry the inks, then spritz it with a light mist of Imagine’s Sparkle Shimmer Spritz. Dry it, then trim it to fit behind the Cascadia border. Skip the measuring and/or guessing – just trim it with the 6-½” x 1-½” Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangle die. It’s one size smaller…and guaranteed to fit behind the border!
Cut the Enchanting Poppy Stems blossoms from two shades of the Ocean Blue Collection 6×6’s. Cut pieces of the middle-sized layers from the darker 6×6. Assemble the flowers.
Cut the leaves and stems from a Lush Green Collection 6×6. Brush a light layer of Pearlescent Thyme Brilliance onto the narrow accent pieces. Assemble the leaves.
Cut the extra ink-blended cardstock with the Miss You Posh Script background. Cut the greeting from white cardstock. The tiny dot over the “i” disappeared somewhere between my diecutting area and my desk. I used a screwpunch to punch a tiny hole in the background. The background will be layered over white cardstock and will match the rest of the greeting.
Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-½” x 8-½”). Add the pale aqua Christmas Fairy Crystals. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Hope you’ll join our March Challenge – the theme is Miss You/Thinking of You. Flowers always add a special touch to cards for any occasion – and would especially appreciated right now. Here are the details.
Thanks for visiting the blog…see you again this weekend!
