This idea just "spoke to me"! I love the clean color combination along with the images on the wide oval dies from the Impressions Abloom dies. I did this card Monday with my "advanced" Senior Center class, and they loved it. It allowed them to be a "floral designer" as I gave them the components for the focal point, a little guidance, and they did their own thing!
Measurements:
- Night of Navy: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/8" x 4 1/4" (oval), scraps (use piece removed)
- Garden Green: scraps
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 3 3/8" x 4 1/4" (oval), scraps
- Adhesive Sheet: 1 3/4" x 3 1/2" (Navy stem)
- Serene Love DSP (OE): 2" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 5 1/4" (Navy Stripe)
To Make this Card:
- Remove 2 1/8" from front of folded Night of Navy card base.
- Add White piece inside.
- Adhere DSP to remaining front flap and DSP strip to inside.
- For the wide oval, die cut the Navy "base" with the larger oval die. Die cut the White center from the double oval die. Toss the outside "rim". Adhere the 2 together.
- On scrap of White, 2-step stamp 2 Poppy Parade flowers. Stamp the "detail", first, full strength, then stamp "solid" off. Also, stamp 1 Azure Afternoon flower the same way. Die cut with corresponding die, either with, or without, the detail.
- Place strip of adhesive onto removed Navy piece, and die cut "stem". Then cut 3 "fillers"
- Next, die cut 3 leaves in Garden Green.
- Now to "arrange" the flowers. Remove the backing of the adhesive from the "stem", and place on the oval, near the left side.
- Next, place one Poppy flower on the tallest "stem", flush with the oval.
- Pop up the Azure flower on the other "stem", and the lastly, add the final Poppy so it creates a triangle. This one is tucked in and popped up with Dimensionals, too.
- Then, tuck in the Navy "fillers", and "leaves" so suit yourself!
- Stamp sentiment in Night of Navy, where it will fit! Mine is from the Unbounded Love stamp set, now in the Online Store.
- Now, we'll add the oval to the front of card. Attach the left side ONLY to the card front, leaving the right side free!
- Finish with a White bow and Silver Sparkle gems.
