Good morning everyone, hope all is well with you all, the weather has made a big change in the last few days, but hopefully it will get better.
Today I thought I'd show you a card using a lovely set that has carried over in to the new catalogue, which I was very pleased to see.
The card I've made is relatively easy to make and it incorporates a technique known as paper piecing. There are a few different ways of doing this, you can stamp an image on to plain card and then stamp on to patterend paper, cut elements of it out and then glue in to place on the plain image and it gives you a really lovely effect.
The way I've used it today is by die cutting poppies in white and petal pink and then replacing the middle sections of the white poppy with the coloured sections, I've only done this with the larger images just adding a little bit of pop on the card.
Score your card base in half along the long side of your base card and burnish it well.
Emboss you calypso coral piece with the embossing folder.
Die cut all of your elements out, and carefully glue all of your poppies ( 2 large and 4 small white) in to place, then glue all of the pieces from the calypso coral poppies in to the gaps of the larger white poppies. Now glue the poppy centres in calypso coral on top of each poppy. This piece with everything glued on it can now be glued on to the front of your card base.
Die cut your white label out of thick whisper white card, and draw around the inner part of the die, on to the petal pink piece and then cut it out. (I like doing this with dies as you can get more shapes out of your dies and it also gives you a smaller edge around the two labels). Stamp your sentiment on to this piece before you glue it flat to the white label.
Tie the ribbon around the whole of the label and place 3 pearls on to it, this is put on to the card front using stampin' dimensionals.
Hope you enjoyed this card it's a pretty card using beautiful products and easy to acheive.
Take care everyone any questions about the card or joining my team please don't hesitate to contact me, I'm only too happy to help.
