Lily of the Vally Dies + Fern & Flora Embossing Folder

The Fern & Flora Bundle reminds me of all my time hiking in the Pacific Northwest.  Ferns are plentiful in the mountains, as well as wildflowers.  The Lily of the Valley die also reminded me of the seet and delicate Coral Bells that were also spotted on various hikes.

To stay within the challenge of Crisp Cantaloupe, I've used the two-tone cardstock, embossed and sanded for texture; and the Stampin' Blends Combo Pack.  These options really allowed for depth within the color.

Cutting Instructions:
  • Card base - Crisp Cantaloupe: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"

Assembly Instructions:
  • Emboss card front layer with raised embossing to the front of the embossing folder.  I chose to use the lighter side as the front. Using an emery board, lightly sand the raised embossing to expose the white core.

  • Using Crisp Cantaloupe & Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends, color flowers & stems.  Adhere Ferns and Flower stems using mini glue dots.
  • Using Basic Black ink, stamp sentiment and die cut.  Adhere to right side of flower stems straddling the ribbon, using dimensionals.
