Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations...On Your Special Day....

 Good morning friends and welcome to my blog.  I'm here this morning to share another card using the Summer's Garden Collection.  I love making these flowers because they are a large "statement" piece and when used on a card you need very little else to go with them!

Instructions: My finished card size is 6" x 6". I cut a piece of the flower shaping paper 6" x 12" and scored at 6". Fold to make card base. Using Sheet 8B of the paper collection use the scalloped edge die to cut a piece to add color to the card front. Glue down.

Next, using white cardstock, I cut out the decorative pieces of the dies leaving the center square in place to hold the sentiment. Glue this piece to the green layer and set aside. I glued the pearls next and left to dry. Stamp the sentiment using Vibrant Fuchsia ink and cut out using the square center.

Stamp the leaves with Fern Green Archival Ink and color using Leaf Green. Cut out using the coordinating die. Lay on the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Turn out to dry. While the leaves are drying, stamp the flower petals using Rich Cocoa ink then color using various inks. Here is where you can select what color you like. Cut out the petals using coordinating dies. Lay onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. As you turn the petals out use the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit to add a bit more dimension to them. Allow to dry. Layer up several petals and glue together. The more dimension the better. Next add prills to the center and allow to dry. This is the time to apply glitter with glue and the sponge. Once everything is dry, decide on placement and hot glue in place. The card is finished.
