Spring Card for Easter

My 2nd DT card this month is a Spring Easter card for Let's Craft and Create.  A decoupaged posy of yellow flowers.

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
