Hello…..

Hi everyone. I have a card to share following the recipe at As You See It. There are 5 things you have to include – one word sentiment, shades of pink, die cut, flowers, and frame. Here is my card:

I pulled out lots of my card stock in varying shades of pink. These were from Spellbinders, Concord & 9th, and Heffy Doodle. I then searched the CML app for flower die sets – there are a lot in there – and used the one from Spellbinders called ‘Petal Fresh‘, and also pulled out the Spellbinders 2024 Advent Calendar for some stems for the flowers, and for the sentiment banner.

For the frame, I used the ‘Filigree Frame‘ from The Greetery .

Now to all the die cutting – lots of it again. I cut all the layers for all of the flowers in varying shades of pink – playing with which colours for which layers, and glued them together.

The frame was die cut, then a white die cut layer behind for a little more stability.

The background panel is a textured cream card stock, as I thought this would be gentler on the eye, and also be better for all the pink that was going to be happening on this card.

Frame and cream panel glued to the card, florals arranged and attached with 3D foam and glue, then the banner attached with 3d Foam – that way it could also hold down the bottom of all of the stems.

I was in two minds whether to hide the bottom of the stems behind the banner, but left them uneven and below – more natural to me.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

As You See It – recipe – one word sentiment, die cut, frame, shades of pink, flowers

Craft Rocket – layer it up

A Cut Above – die cuts, option of pastels

Crafts Galore – anything goes
