Sending my Love

Good Morning.  Today I designed a card using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Florals 27 die set.

This is a 5x7 inch card.  For the background I used the Elegant Decorative Borders die set and die cut the larger border twice using white cardstock.  The two borders were glued to the center of the pink card.

For the flowers, I used the Florals 27 die set and die cut the next to largest petals to create five flowers. To color the petals, I used Altenew Blush ink to lightly color the petals then used Altenew Fuchsia ink to add the bright ink spot on each petal.  An Arteza magenta pen was used to draw on the lines on only the top petals of each flower.  On the bottom petals, I used the Derwent Intense Fuchsia Pencil to lightly draw on the lines.  These lines are much lighter than lines on top layer. On the very center tip of each petals, I used the OLO marker YG 8.3 to add light green.  The same green was used at the base of all the petals.   The petals were glued together and shaped before adding the stamens.  The stamens are yellow with black tips.  

 The Leaves were die cut using white cardstock. The die set used is Wild Flower 1.   All the cardstock used is the Elizabeth Craft Designs Soft Finish Cardstock.  The leaves were colored using OLO markers YG 8.7, YG 8.5, and YG 2.5.  They were shaped and glued to the lacy border design.  The Flowers were added to the stems then additional leaves cut from stems were added to make them fuller.

The Floral Greenery 2 die set was used for the Baby's Breath.  The stems were die cut using white cardstock and colored with a light green marker.  The die for the tiny flowers in this set were die cut, shaped an glued to the Baby's Breath Stem.  A dark Green fine tip pen was used to dot the center of each little flower.  

Embellishments from my stash were added along with a sentiment.

It was nice to take a break from Christmas cards and design a card using the Florals 27 die set.  The products used are linked below.  Thanks for stopping by.
