Garden Impressions DSP

Hello, Crafters.

When I attended Natalie’s training on Saturday, she gave my a beautiful

bouquet of flowers and a congratulations card for my two

achievements last week.

I also received a Congratulations card from Paula! She

had used a design from the Garden Impressions Designer Series

Paper (DSP) Stack, and very little else; the card was absolutely gorgeous!

Recently, I have been seeing more and more cards like this, so I decided

to use the same design for my card today. I cut the design so that

the cluster of three flowers sat more or less in the centre of my card,

and approximately a third of the way up. I took another sheet and cut

out two of the flowers as individuals, and curled the petals upwards.

I didn’t want the cut flowers to disappear on the DSP, so I painted them

with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. I decided to adhere them using

Dimensionals, to give some space between the upper and lower

flowers, and then twisted them to offset the petals of both flowers!

I think this worked well and I finished the flowers with a Gold

Faceted Gem in the centre. I adhered the DSP to a Pacific Point

layer and tied a piece of 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon in Whisper

White around the bottom half.

I find it very easy to tie beautiful bows with this ribbon, so much

so that I left the bow unusually big for me with long tails that came off

the bottom of the card by a very long margin!

I stamped Happy Birthday, from the Botanical Bliss Stamp Set,

in Pacific Point Ink, and die cut it using the smallest straight

cut oval die, and layered it onto a scalloped oval – both dies from

the Layering Ovals Dies Framelits – in Pacific Point.

It’s very unusual for me to make a simple card,

but I’m really pleased how this one has turned out!

I forgot to take a photograph of Paula’s card, but I’ll remedy that

tomorrow! That’s it from me today! Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.
