Weekly challenge - Slim line card

Good afternoon everyone, my goodness it's so hot I don't really know what to do with myself. So I thought I'd share this lovely slimline card with you all.

Every week since lock down, myself and 2 other demonstrators, whom are very good friends of mine, and we all live locally to each other, set each other a challenge to do. This week it was the turn of Ruth Blackett to set the challenge, and she came up with us all making a slimline card each, and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it.

Ruth has also put her card on to her blog so I'd really appreciate if you popped over to her blog, left her a comment and gave her a bit of support too.

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish (where necessary) all of your card layers and adhere to the front of your card base (the plush piece of paper you will need to place small amounts of glue where they will be hidden so they don't show through). The shaded spruce layer is adhered using stampn' dimensionals.

2. Die cut all of your elements and then assemble the large poinsettia pieces together, now adhere them using liquid glue on to the front of your card where you would like them to be.

3. Stamp your sentiment and angle cut the edges of the whisper white piece of card, then adhere this onto the gold piece of cardstock and cut around the edges giving all of them even borders. This is then glued onto the front of your card using liquid glue.

4. Place pearls in the centres of the poinsettias and that's the card finished.

Hope you enjoyed the quick project today and give it a go it's quite a pleasing card when finished.
