Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a classic Any Occasion Botanical Card. Sometimes you just need a card to cover most occasion. With a subtle detail like adding some sparkle, it can make a card. So, let me share how.
Stamp and Color Top Panel of the Botanical Card
Cut a rectangle white cardstock panel and tear on the left side, leaving space for a stamp design. Stamp the botanical image with a black ink and color the image using color pencils.
To add a subtle detail on the Any Occasion Botanical Card, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen over the flower and leaves. The fine tip is perfect for precise placement of the glue. Next sprinkle clear embossing powder over the wet glue and tap off the excess. Let dry. Use a heat tool to melt the embossing powder for that sparkle!
Repeat the sparkle accent steps with the stamped text using the clear glitter instead of the embossing powder (minus the heat tool).
Card Base
Mat the card panel to a darker color patterned rectangle piece slightly larger than the panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Wrap the ribbon around the matted panel and secure the ends with the same adhesive. Then adhere on a white card base.
The Finishing Touch
Tie a bow and secure it with Adhesive Dots Large. It’s perfect because no adhesive shines through.
And voilá, the Any Occasion Botanical Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting
