I'm back with more yellowy glads–this time using the Gladiola Floral Duo to create three blossoms for a pretty "happy birthday to you" card.
materials used
- I used a side-fold horizontal card white card base.
- I chose a piece of the gold print paper trimmed to 4 by 5 1/4 from the GLIMMERING GLADIOLA PAPER PAD PP1028 and added it to the front of the note card.
- I selected a coordinating yellow paper from the SUNRISE CARD STOCK COLLECTION SP1013, trimmed that to 1 1/2 X 5 1/4 and added that band near the top of the note card.
- I stamped the greeting "happy birthday to you" on that band, combining two stamps ("happy" and "birthday to you") from the BOLD CHEERFUL FLORAL CLEAR STAMP SET CL5279 (also available with coordinating dies CL5279D) and using VersaFine Clair Acorn ink.
- I cut the GLADIOLA FLORAL DUO 94793 twice from watercolor paper. I used a fingertip dauber and Hero Arts Butter Bar ink to color the flower petal pieces and Memento Rich Cocoa for the stamens.
- After auditioning them on the card front, I chose to use only three of the flowers I made (rather than four) and bent the edges of the petals for a bit more dimension.
- I placed the three gladiola blossoms on the note card using dimensional foam dots.
This design would work for many occasions–just change up the sentiment, the papers, the flower colors–so many combinations are possible! Happy Crafting!
