Forever Lovely Notecard |
|

|
This is a note card size card finished size 5 x 3.5. There are note cards and envelopes available in the annual catalog as you can see in the supplies list. I had envelopes so I made this from scratch.
For the base of the card cut Whisper White Thick 5 x 7, score at 3.5 and fold to make a top fold note card.
Cut Grapefruit Grove Foil sheet 4.75 x 3.25 attach to base card front with Snail adhesive. (set aside for now)
Cut Whisper White Regular 4.5 x 3 - this will be the "art piece" that you will build upon. Attach it now with Snail centering on the foil layer.
Stamp the flower from Forever Lovely stamp set with Grapefruit Grove ink. You can use the die to cut it out but I just fussy cut mine because I didn't want the white edge.
TIP: I found this image stamps best if it doesn't have too much ink on it so go lightly on the the ink and don't press too hard when stamping. You may need to practice a bit to get the best image
Stamp two or three of the stems with Mossy Meadow and use the die from Lovely Flowers to cut them out.
Cut 3 stems from Old Olive, 1 small flowers from Soft Sea Foam and 2 large flowers from Calypso Coral.
Cut Whisper White 2.75 x 1.75, stamp the sentiment and ink the edges with a sponge dauber using Blackberry Bliss ink pad.
Use the magnetic platform and cut the dotted corners using the die from Lovely Flowers.
Attach the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals
Put a bit of Snail on the back side of the flower that will adhere to the sentiment and put a dimensional on the other half. Attach that to the card.
For the rest of the pieces I attached them all with glue dots, rolled up very small and attached to the back side of the stems I then tucked them into place and used the Paper Piercing tool to reach under and press them down.
