Color Blocked Coneflower

 I caught a glimpse of this card on a Facebook Reel, grabbed a screenshot, and never found it again!  So, here is my take on this neat Color-Blocked Coneflower. It utilizes the new, Floral Charm DSP, along with the new Floral Impressions DSP and the Coneflower Celebration Dies.  I love the use of that decorative border die, and the little dots that get removed from it!



Measurements:   

  • Basic White: 1/2 sheet, scrap
  • Pretty in Pink: 2 1/2" x 4" (detail flower)
  • Blackberry Bliss: 1" x 4 1/4" (border), scrap (flower center)
  • Adhesive Sheet: 1" x 4 1/4"
  • Floral Charm DSP (N): 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" (Blackberry Bliss print)
  • Floral Impressions DSP (N): 1" x 4" , 1/2" x 5 1/2" (pink floral), 1" x 3 3/4" (garden green)
To Make This Card:
  • Die cut full "coneflower" from Pretty in Pink 2-Tone cardstock. Die cut "detail coneflower" from regular cardstock, and lastly die cut flower "center" from Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
  • Fold full flower in half so the lighter color is facing out.  Add the detail and then the center.  
  • Shape the top layer with a bone folder, and then add a little Wink of Stella to these petals and the center.  Set aside.
  • Start the Color-Block effect from the left.  Add the floral piece, with a narrow border.
  • Adhere adhesive sheet to back of Blackberry Bliss piece and cut out 2 circular borders. Save some of the dots for later.
  • Remove the backing of one, and adhere to the card front close to cut edge of floral piece.
  • Next, add Blackberry Bliss piece, centering between the border and the cut edge.  You should have a narrow border on the top and right.
  • Next, add the other circular border.  You will need to carefully remove one ring with Paper Snips.
  • Lastly, add the Garden Green DSP, centering below the upper DSP and border.
  • Take 6 dots from the border, remove backing, and then add to Garden Green piece, as shown.
  • Stamp sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto scrap of White.  Die cut with smallest Textured Notes Dies.  Add to card front with Dimensionals, centering in Garden Green piece.
  • Finish by stamping sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink inside "flower", then attaching the flower, at an angle, to the Blackberry DSP.
  • And, then add scattered clear Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink gems.
