Field Of Flowers & Ornate Layers - Thinking Of You

I love how this card turned out. I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) this card from the Annual Catalog. If you look at the very first page, you’ll see a similar card. I made a few changes but the basic card is the same.

The stamp set I used was the Field Of Flowers and it has some pretty, delicate images. I also used the Ornate Layers Dies and the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

Tips & Instructions

• Just Jade Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

• Cut 1 inch from the card front and then emboss the card front using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

• Cut piece of Just Jade Cardstock using the Ornate Layers Dies.

• Whisper White Layer - 3 9/16 x 2 3/16, stamp leaves with Garden Green Ink and flower tops with Bumblebee Ink.

• Adhere stamped layer to ornate layer.

• Adhere layer to card using Dimensionals, making sure you don’t put Dimensionals on the right side where it hangs over the card base.

• Whisper White Scrap - stamp sentiment with Bumblebee Ink and punch using the Classic Label Punch. Adhere to card using Dimensionals.

• Add Butterfly Gem

The inside layer is 5 1/4 x 3 so it doesn’t show through to the front. Stamp the leaves and grasses across the bottom with Garden Green Ink. Stamp the larger flowers with Bumblebee Ink. Stamp the smaller flowers with Terracotta Tile Ink (matches the butterfly on the front). I just inked one of the small flowers and stamped it where I wanted it instead of the entire group of flowers. It was easy to do because of the way the flowers are laid out on the the stamp.
