TCC206 You Are Loved Beyond Measure

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our #206 {April Flowers} Challenge at the The Card Concept!

Look at that lovely bouquet!  I was inspired by the flower theme along with the aqua color to create a Clean and Layered card that could be used as an encouragement card (or for a friend at Mother’s Day). 

I love the poppy image from the Pretty Poppies Bundle and paired it with a sentiment from the Farmhouse Simple Sentiments stamp set along with a piece of Craft Consortium Beach Hut 6x6 paper and the Lace Embossing Folder (all from Stamp Simply).

We are looking forward to seeing what inspires your card from our inspiration photo! Will it be the overall theme, the flowers, vase, the colors, textures or something else?

If you have not already visited us at The Card Concept, I hope you will find the time to do so.  Such wonderful inspiration from the rest of my DT sisters!

To create this card:

On a piece of white cardstock, de-static with an embossing powder tool, ink the poppy image from the Pretty Poppies Bundle with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Watercolor the image with water-based markers and once dried, die cut with the coordinating die from the Pretty Poppies Bundle (also die cut another poppy image from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

Emboss a piece of 4” x 3 ½” piece of white cardstock with the Sizzix 3D Lace embossing folder, distress the edges with a distressing tool.

Cut a piece of the Beach Hut designer paper to 4” x 3”, de-static the panel and stamp the verse sentiment from the Farmhouse Simple Sentiments stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink,  apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Mount the sentiment panel onto the lower portion of a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of black cardstock.

Layer the white embossed lace panel onto the card front overlapping the sentiment panel.

Add a strip of ¾” x 4 ¼” piece of black cardstock to cover the cut edges.

Mount the die cut floral image with dimensional foam to finish off the card.
