Floral Thank You Card - Karen McKibbin
Hello again and welcome! We were having a horribly cold winter day here in Canada when I made this card, and I just felt like colouring and staying warm inside. So I actually combined two floral stamp sets for this one, but I think either one of these two sets alone would have been good enough.
Paper Rose supplies used: Spring Bloom Stamp Set 25282, Hayley's Bouquet Stamp Set 25240, Hand Lettered Thanks Metal Cutting Die 25606, Little Swirls 6x6" Stencil 19724, Little Foliage 1 Metal Cutting Die 21099. Other supplies: Nuvo Glacier Paste in Pineapple Delight, Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Sparkle Powder in Sandstorm, Copic markers.
I used Copic markers to colour in the images, but I only coloured the portions that I thought would be on the card. After colouring, I fussy cut them out, leaving a wide margin around the bottom as I wasn't sure exactly how they would fit on the card.
For the card base (5 1/2" square), I cut from 110# white cardstock, a 5 1/2" x 11" piece, scored it in the middle at 5 1/2", and then folded and creased it to make my card base. I also cut a piece of 5 1/2" square yellow cardstock for the front. I placed the Little Swirls stencil over the yellow card and applied a layer of the Nuvo Glacier Paste. While the stencil was still in place, I sprinkled the Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Sparkle Powder over top, and then lightly misted with about 2 or 3 mists of water. Just enough water to activate the powder. Then I removed the stencil and washed it, and allowed the card front to dry.
I die cut from white cardstock several of the leafy foliage and three of the Thanks die cuts. I stacked and glued the Thanks die cuts together, and stacked and glued two each of the foliage die cuts.
Once the card front was dry, I glued it onto the card base. I arranged the foliage in a wreath shape and then figured out the arrangement of the flowers. I mounted the flowers on foam tape and adhered them to the bottom of the card. I trimmed off the excess flowers from the back of the card. Finally, I glued the thanks sentiment into place within the wreath. I wish you could see how shiny this card really is, as that Glacier Paste really adds a lot of shine.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!
