Say it with flowers - Carnations

Sharing my DT card for the challenge over on Daisy Chains Blog Challenge this month with the theme  "Pink or Halloween."

As I love making cards with dimensional blooms and decided to use these lovely pink carnations from Tattered Lace's Fresco collection for my birthday card, hence opting for the pink theme.




To get the maximum dimension on my flowers but lessen the weight on the front of the card I used a 110gsm white colour printing paper.



This paper doesn't have a coating and moulded pretty well when I used a ball tool to shape them.
When using the Tattered Lace charisma papers, you can guarantee a smooth cut without a white edge due to the extra bleed line around the image, which makes the flowers, in particular, more natural looking.


Pinflair glue gel gives perfect dimension without the smell that some silicone glue gels leave you with.   I have also used the lovely diamond frame die from the Tattered Lace Fresco Collection and a frame die from their Autumn Radiance collection.
