To start this project, this is what I used:-
- 6 x 6 white card blank
- 6 x 6 white card to die cut
- Green gingham backing paper from one of the Dreamees cd roms
- Dreamees square lace die set (available on Create & Craft )
- Stamping Up Lotus Blossom stamp set (retired - but available on ebay)
- Docrafts Xcut mini gift tag die
- Lemon organza ribbon
- Papermania adhesive gems
- Dreamees Dinky Inky ink pads
I used the three stamps to define the flowers using the Dreamees new Pearlescent dinky inkies in mustard. It's difficult to capture the shimmer of these inks at this angle. I also used one of their Autumn winter green inks for the stems. I then cut them out ready to decoupage.
Normally I would stamp these straight to the card but decided to see how they would look decoupage to create some different dimensional flowers.
This square lace die comes with 3 dies. An outer frame (13cms) a fine square die (9cm) and inner lacy panel (8.5cm). As I wanted the frame and lace panel to form a layer on my card, I left out the middle die. This detailed die cut perfectly with my Sizzix.
Using a quickie glue pen and some glitter I added some sparkle around the edges and to areas of the lacy panel.
Then I layered up all the elements
The inspiration behind this spring card came from my beautiful yellow tulips.
Happy Crafting
