Hi, Judy here today… Wishing you a Lovely Day with this pretty Lovely Flowers Card. Lots of gold embossing including the frame made with 3D Foam Frames, gold on embossed background and flowers with gold stamping and centers made with 3D Foam Circles Black Mix. Giving you a wonderful mixed media vibe!
Prepare Card Base
Form a 4.25 x 5.5 inch side fold card from 5.5 x 8.5 inch piece of cream cardstock.
Cut piece of khaki brown cardstock 4.25 x 5.5 inches. Place in Lattice embossing folder and pass through die cutting machine to emboss. Trim to 4 x 5.25 inches. Lightly rub Versamark ink pad along edges of embossed panel, cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Apply adhesive on back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten to card front.
Gold Frame
Cut piece of textured cream cardstock 3.75 x 4.75 inches.
Take sheet of 3D Foam Frames and peel liners from 2nd and 3rd largest frames. Lay 3D Foam Frames sheet on work surface and place face down cardstock over it. Press cardstock to stick to frames which have liners removed. Gently pull 3D Foam Frames sheet away from cardstock so that 2 frames are left stuck to it. Cover frames with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Carefully trim away cardstock along edge of frame. Apply adhesive to back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten on card.
Flowers
Cut piece of brown cardstock 4 x 6 inches. Fasten Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to it and rub well with bone folder. Peel off liner and press coffee stained book page on it. Trim book page even with cardstock. (Designer Tip: An old book page is quite fragile. By fastening it to cardstock, it keeps the vintage charm and is sturdy enough to die cut)
Stamp 3 flowers and 4 leaves with Versamark ink. Cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Use coordinating die and die cutting machine to cut out each flower and leaves.
To color flowers and leaves, use water brush to pick up color from tip of Distress Watercolor Pencils. For flowers, use Victorian Velvet on large, Tea Dye on medium, and Chipped Sapphire on small. Color leaves with Shabby Shutters and add a touch of Ground Espresso. Rub each one gently with dry paper towel to remove any paint from gold embossing. While flowers and leaves are damp, curl petals and shape leaves. Allow to dry or use heat tool to dry.
Remove large circle from 3D Foam Circles Black Mix and place on center of small flower. Fill center of large flower with small circles from 3D Foam Circles Black Mix and put 3 small circles on medium flower. Peel liners from each flower center, cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with heat tool.
Fasten Flowers
Apply adhesive with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to center back of each flower and fasten in frame on card. Also fasten leaves with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser by applying adhesive just to base of leaf (part that is under flower).
Add Verse
Stamp verse on cream cardstock with black ink and cut apart between each word. Cut pieces of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to fit on back of each word. Peel liners from each one and fasten words on card
