Autumnal Flowers card – Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Giving Thanks Blog Hop. There are so many things I am thankful for: my lovely family, my friends, the friendly village I live in and lots more. I have made an Autumnal flowers card for one of my lovely friends using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set and some seasonal colours.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the Autumnal flowers card, you will need:

Using Blends Pens I coloured in the images. The large flower was coloured with light and dark Pumpkin Pie with a little dark Cajun Craze. The medium flower was coloured with light and dark Wild Wheat and the final flower with light and dark Cherry Cobbler. The centres were coloured with the darkest natural tones blends or pecan pie blends. The cherry cobbler flower centre was coloured with dark Soft Sea Foam.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Mossy Meadow card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. Using one of the labels from the Changing Leaves Dies I die cut the sentiment. I ran it through twice as I wanted the label to be shorter. The sentiment was then added to the card front.

The whole of the stamped panel was then covered with glue, we used Pritt Stick. We crumpled up the piece of tissue paper, carefully opened it out leaving as many lines and ridges as possible and placed it over the whole gluey panel taking care not to smooth it out too much. The excess tissue paper was the folded to the back and glued down. The whole piece was then glued to the Pretty Peacock panel and then to the Petunia Pop card front..

The sentiment, from the Simply Said stamp set was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto the die cut Basic Beige label. This label was then glued to the die cut Pretty Peacock label. The whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

These pieces were then die cut using the Flowers of Beauty Dies.
