Charlotte Blooms and Leaves
by Anne Thompson

Here's a card perfect for any occasion and it features Charlotte Blooms and Leaves.

to make this card

• die cut five sets of the leaves from CHARLOTTE BLOOMS AND LEAVES 94645 using one of the green cardstock papers from the LUSH GREEN COLLECTION SP1003
• die cut three sets of the 3-part flowers from CHARLOTTE BLOOMS AND LEAVES 94645 using one of the yellow cardstock papers from the SUNNY ORANGE COLLECTION SP1002

• use fingertip daubers to add inks to the diecuts–VersaFine Clair Rain Forest (green) to the leaves and VersaFine Clair Tulip Red to the flowers

• cut a piece of green plaid paper 4 X 5 1/4 from the WOODSY PLAID PP1018 paper pad and add it to the front of a white notecard

• assemble the 3-part flowers and add them to the front of the notecard
• tuck the leaves under the flower edges
• add the largest clear FAIRY DROPS DRP101 to the Charlotte Blooms centers and add a few of the medium-sized clear Fairy Drops on the plaid paper

That's it!

I made a second all-occasion card with a top-fold using the Charlotte Blooms and Leaves.  I used the same yellow and green cardstock papers, a green plaid from MADRAS PLAID BLUE AND VIOLET PP1014, and amber crystals from the AUTUMN FAIRY CRYSTALS CRY101.  I used the barrel of a stylus to curl some of the Charlotte Blooms petals under for added dimension.

Here's a list in one place of all the materials used.

• CHARLOTTE BLOOMS AND LEAVES 94645
• LUSH GREEN COLLECTION SP1003
• SUNNY ORANGE COLLECTION SP1002
• VersaFine Clair Rain Forest (green) ink
• VersaFine Clair Tulip Red ink
• WOODSY PLAID PP1018 paper pad
• FAIRY DROPS DRP101
• MADRAS PLAID BLUE AND VIOLET PP1014 paper pad
• AUTUMN FAIRY CRYSTALS CRY101

There's a center "rounded cone" die for the flowers that I didn't use…it looks similar to the center on a coneflower/Echinacea.  I hope the next flowers I make using the Charlotte Blooms and Leaves will look more like these:

Happy Crafting!
