Today's card is one I made with my mother for my grandmother. It took us over an hour to do, but I suspect that was mostly due to two people making decisions rather than one.
- several pieces of pink and purple papers
- a piece of pale brown and a piece of green paper
- embossing powder (gold)
- vellum
- embossing folder
- flower dies and a flower punch
- different coloured brads or gemstones
Making the card:
- Using the embossing folder, emboss a pattern onto the brown paper. Cut out a flower pot shape and set aside.
- Using the flower dies and punch, create a selection of flowers from the pink and purple papers. Taking two or three of the flowers, adhere them together using the brads. Cut out some leaves from the green paper and set it all aside.
- Emboss a 'happy birthday' sentiment onto the vellum with gold embossing powder.
- Assembly: adhere the pot directly to the surface of the card, adhere the two largest flowers with foam tape and the smallest in the front on double foam tape. Stick the leaves on around the flowers and the vellum banner across the bottom of the pot.
There you go!
Till next time
