Two Tone Flora Detailed Window

This is an original design using new products from the January-April mini catalog. I wanted to create a "window" using the large, detailed background die from the Two Tone Flora Dies, the gorgeous Fancy Floral DSP and an oval opening. (check out the circle on the front of the catalog!) I decided I needed a contrast, so I selected the DSP with the Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink colors, Petal Pink and Soft Succulent cardstock. (This picture doesn't do this justice.)The oval is cut from the new Framed Florets Dies.

Measurements:  

  • Soft Succulent: 1/2 sheet, scrap
  • Fancy Floral (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Petal Pink: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Basic White: scrap
To Make This Card:
  • Cut oval using "ripple" die from Framed Floret Dies into one of the Petal Pink pieces. Then run it through the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder. Set aside.
  • Next, die cut all-over Floral from the other Petal Pink piece. Note: you will not need the entire image, you will just be selecting your favorite part to be seen inside the oval "window", so just a small piece of cardstock would work, too.
  • Attach this die cut to wrong side of oval layer. Trim the die cut layer to match the outside edges of the embossed piece, if necessary.
  • Now, take the full DSP piece and the "window" layer.  Decide which part of the DSP piece you would like to see through the "window", and cut and adhere it behind the "window" opening.  Note: you do not need a full piece behind this layer, just the most interesting part!
  • Next, adhere his piece to folded Soft Succulent card.
  • Stamp sentiment onto scrap of White.  Cut out with "label" die and attach to a "split" Soft Succulent "label". Add to card where desired.
  • Finish with 2 2021 InColor Gems and Soft Succulent bow.
