Petal Park Book Binding Card

 I just love the combination of the Country Gingham DSP with the Petal Park punched flowers! And, I love it made in a Book Binding card!! I also added extra punched leaves and layered, punched flowers, for some awesome dimension! We will be doing this card at my monthly Card Club!


Measurements:  

  • Balmy Blue: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4 1/8" square - base & inside; 3 5/8" square (image),                     1 1/8" x 4 1/8", scraps
  • Country Gingham DSP (N): 1" x 4", 4" square
To Make This Card:
  • Fold Balmy Blue card base in half.  Score at 1 1/4" from fold, front side only.  Crease the front back well. Place adhesive under this 1 1/4" and glue front and back together.
  • Add the White layer to both the "binding" and the "front".
  • Next, add the Balmy Blue gingham pieces.
  • Now, stamp the "detail" leaves in Mint Macaron, to the smallest White square (it just fits).  I used the Stamparatus to line up the images.  Next, stamp the "solid" stamp, stamped off,  over the previous image, again, using the Stamparatus. Attach to card front.
  • Stamp "outline" of flowers in Pacific Point onto a scrap of White. Add "solid" flowers in Balmy Blue. Punch out with corresponding punch.  Repeat.
  • Next, stamp "detail" leaf in Mint Macaron onto strip of White.  Add "solid" leaf in stamped off, leaf. Create 4 such leaves, and punch out with corresponding punch.
  • Shape flowers with stylus.
  • Layer flowers as desired and add to card. 
  • Shape leaves, by creating a "vein" down the center.  Attach to card where desired.
  • Add yellow centers to flowers, and scattered Balmy Blue embellishments to front of card.
  • Finish with Balmy Blue ombre bow on the "binding".
