Floral Congratulations

Hello everyone. You remember how I said yesterday that I wouldn’t be using any more Pinkfresh washi for a while…..? Well – I may have just told a little fib. I watched a Jennifer McGuire video and totally inspired to create – but this was using more Pinkfresh washi. I changed the washi to another product suite – Indigo Roses – and created this card:

There are also three other panels I am working on, but this card came together first.

I first attached the washi tape to white card stock, then used the matching dies.

I followed Jennifer’s examples of cutting down another white card to four rectangles. I used an old Spellbinders embossing folder on each of the four rectangles. This one has the date of 2012 on the back……!! It is an ‘M-Bossabilities’ reversible embossing folder called Garden Lattice – two designs for the price of one, and is A4 in size. It’s amazing what you find in your stash when looking for something else, isn’t it?

Taking guidance from the YouTube video, I taped the four rectangles together, attached the die cut washi images, cut the rectangles apart – then attached more images. The video explains it in far more detail and is very easy to follow.

Once the panel designs suited my eye, I created the folded card base, matted some gold, then found some blue card stock from Time 4 Tea Designs which matched the indigo roses.

The mats and layers were created and attached to the card base, then the floral panel adhered to the left front.

A previously created foiled sentiment was added, and some gold gems. I also finished the inside – very unusual for me – but I was in the zone.

It really is hard to put away products you are having fun with, and I have several rolls of washi from different product suites at Pinkfresh Studio. A few of them were from virtual events – there is a lot of washi on each roll…

Thank you for bearing with me for the past few days.
