Flower and Hugs

February 3, 2017

Happy Day, Everyone!  It’s Karen here, and I am here with a sympathy card made with one of the all-new Krista Schneider stamp sets, Flower Power.  Such a pretty set!

Unfortunately, I was in need of a sympathy card for a woman at work who had a major loss. She is still off work, so I decided to send her a little homemade love by mail.

Here are the steps I used to make this card:

1. Stamp the flower with black permanent ink and cut it out using the coordinating die. Next, color the stamped images using your favorite markers. The process I used to color the flower is outlined in the two photos below.  I started with some Copic V colors:

Then, I added in some other colors:

2. Cut the patterned paper at 4″ x 5″.  Cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock – 85 lb in half (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″). Score and fold it for the card base.

3. Ink the edges of the patterned paper with chalk ink to hide the white core of the 2-sided paper.

4. Cut the other half of the White Soft Finish Cardstock at 4″ x 4″ and cut a diagonal.  The other side of my example is at around 1-1/2″.  Then cut a piece of scrap white card stock at 3-3/4″ x 5″ to adhere the pattern piece and the white diagonal piece with Clear Double-Sided Adhesive as shown below:

5. Wrap a piece of lace and a piece of seam-binding ribbon across the diagonal; add more adhesive and adhere it to the card base.

6.  Die cut Pair of Leaves 1 from another piece of patterned paper and glue them onto the card.

7.  Use pop-tape to adhere the flower to the card.

8.  Add some Nuvo Drops and half-pearls as embellishments.

9.  Die cut the word ‘hugs’ from the Love Sentiments die set three times from another piece of patterned paper.  Glue them together to add dimension.  (For a flatter sentiment, cut only once or twice.) Glue the sentiment to the lower right corner of the card front.

Thank you SO much for stopping by today!

Craftily yours,

Karen
