Triple Arch Lily of the Valley

 You know me, I LOVE arches!  I saw this card on our Demonstrator Facebook Page and knew I had to give it a try! It uses those awesome Everyday Arches along with the beautiful Valley in Bloom Suite!




Measurements:  

  • Granny Apple Green: 3 1/2" x 10 1/2" (base), 4 3/4" x 11" (3 arches); 3 3/4" x 4" (leaves)
  • Basic White: 2 5/8" x 3 3/4" (arch),  2 1/2" x 4 1/4" (2 flower stems), scrap (sentiment)
  • Valley in Bloom DSP (N): 3 pcs @ 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" (1-corner print, 1-white & green print, 1-garden green watercolor)
To Make This Card:

  • Score Granny Apple Green base at 3 1/2" - 7". Accordion fold and crease well.
  • Next, die cut 3 arches from Everyday Arches Dies, using the 3rd largest arch. Note: You can cut all 3 arches from just one strip, the left overs from the base strip - for a total of one sheet!
  • Now, cut the 3 arches from 3 different DSP pieces using the 4th largest arch.  Adhere one DSP arch to each Granny Apple cardstock arch.
  • Then, lastly die cut a White arch using the 6th largest arch.
  • Stamp a sentiment on the this White Arch in Garden Green ink.  I also stamped a portion of the smaller Lily of the Valley image in Granny Apple Green ink.  I colored the "leaves" in with a Lt Granny Apple Green Blend. 
  • Now, add this arch to the one with the Watercolor DSP.
  • To create the complete string of arches for the base, adhere each arch to the base, with the adhesive of your choice. Start with the corner flower arch first, and end with the one with the sentiment. As you add each arch, line them up evenly on top of each other.
  • Next, die cut 2 "sprigs" of Lily of the Valley, 
  • Also, cut 4 "leaves" in Granny Apple Green.
  • Color the stems with the Dk Granny Apple Green Blend.  I add some color to the leaves with a small Blending Brush and Garden Green ink.
  • Add one "sprig" to the first and second panels with Multipurpose Glue, then add 2 "leaves" to each sprig, bringing any flowers that end up underneath to the front.
  • Stamp sentiment in Garden Green and punch with 3 Banner Punch.  Add to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Finish first panel with Shimmering Dots and a little Wink of Stella on the flowers.
  • Finish the second panel with a White Baker's Twine bow, and a littl Wink of Stella on the flowers.
