Ornate Gardens

Hello everyone, this is a card I've made for all my lovely ladies that usually come to my workshops. We should have all met up yesterday, but with all that is happening around our country and the whole world infact, it had to be postponed. So I thought to myself what can I do to take everyones minds of everything, even if just for a short while.

This card is made using a beautiful new suite coming out on 1st April, it's called Ornate gardens and it's completely divine.

I've used Old Olive cardstock, Calypso coral and Whisper White, the paper is Ornate garden speciality dsp. The ribbon and the embellishment are also from the suite. The ink used is Old Olive.

The card base is made using card measuring 8 1/4" x 5 7/8" scored on the long side at 4 1/8". The layers of cardstock and paper are both cut 1/8th" smaller than the underneath layer. The dsp I've mounted onto the normal whisper white cardstock, I think it just lifts it a bit and gives more stability to the front of your card.

The inside of the card has a layer of whisper white card cut again 1/8th" smaller, this then makes the card stable when standing.

Glue your layers inside and out with whichever adhesive you prefer to use.

The front of the card I've cut one of the ornate layers dies from whisper white thick card. The next thing you'll need to do is stamp your sentiment , I've used the Ornate thanks stampset, (you can use whichever stampset you wish),I've then adhered a piece of the gold foil card onto the reverse of this die cut so that it just shows through the small holes.  This is adhered to the card using stampin dimensionals.

You can then arrange your flowers, which are out of one of the Ornate borders dies  (stunning dies). 2 of my flowers I glued flat 3 of them I placed a small dimensional behind, it just gives it a slight bit of dimension. Tie yourself a bow and put your gemstone on, the little pieces are out of the flower shapes which are from the same die that the stems came from.

I hope this has cheered you all up a bit wish I could see you all, but we must all stay safe x
