Beautiful Blooms

Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs

 Today I participated in the Crafty Collaborations weekly Monochromatic Insta Hop on Instagram.  You can see the original post with all the other contributors links HERE .  

I am happy to share a free tutorial so you can make this card too!  You will find those instructions after the inner view photo.

The Monochromatic color week is Granny Apple Green

I love how vibrant and happy Granny Apple Green is!  I literally feel more happy energy when I work with this color.  To create depth of color in my flowers I used the Stampin' Blends combo pack of both light and dark in Granny Apply Green.

Cutting instructions:
  • Card base - Basic White Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  This is a side fold card.
  • Front matte layer - Granny Apple Green: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
  • Embossed card front layer - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
  • Frame layer - Basic White Thick:  3 pcs of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" .  The die for the frame actually cuts out 2 frames at the same time, 1 large and 1 small.  I used 3 layers of the small frame, and set aside the large frames for another project at a later time.
  • Flowers - Basic White: 2 pcs 2 1/2" x 4 1/2".  
  • Leaves - Granny Apple Green: Scrap, die cut 5 pcs
  • Sentiment label - Basic Black: 5/8" x 2"

  • Ribbon: 10"
Assembly Instructions: 
  • Using bone folder, burnish fold line well.
  • Using Exposed Brick embossing folder, emboss card front layer.  Using Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends, flick some spatters on the embossed card front layer.  Adhere to front matte layer.  Adhere to front of card base.
  • Adhere all three layers of small frame to each other to create a thicker frame. Adhere to card front using dimensionals.
  • Using Tuxedo Black ink, stamp 2 large flower stems and 1 small flower cluster.  Using Granny Apple Stampin' Blends, color flowers predominately with the light blend.  Use the dark blend for the leaves and shadows.  Use dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend for flower centers.  Die cut silhouettes.  Adhere to the two larger flower stems to the card front.  I tucked the ends under the bottom of the frame, then adhered using dimensionals.
  • Using mini glue dots, tuck in leaves around the floral stems.
  • Using Versamark ink, stamp sentiment on sentiment label.  Add White embossing powder, and set with heat tool.  Banner cut both ends of the label.  Adhere to focal point using dimensionals.
  • Add bow using mini glue dot to base of stems.
  • Using dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend, color rhinestones.  Adhere around focal point.  
  • Adhere inner message liner to inner matte layer.  Adhere to inner card base.  Adhere die cut small floral cluster in lower left corner of message liner. 

Hope you have creating your own masterpiece!
