The thank you card for my customers in July features the gorgeous Meadow Dies, simply blended with colour. I was inspired by the Purple Coneflowers coming into bloom in my garden. However there are so many terrific flower & foliage dies in this set, its easy to choose any combination and blend colour from your favourite palette. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set, a versatile go to stamp set perfect for many cards.
And here's the card details:
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Thick Basic White card base (4 1/4 x 11 folded in half portrait orientation)
4 x 5 1/4 Basic White Cardstock (CS) layer
Scrap pieces of Thick Basic White CS for the flowers
2 1/2 x 3/4 inch piece of Basic White CS for sentiment
3 1/3 x 1/2 inch piece of In The Wild DSP *****Click here, DSP Sale July 1 - Aug 2 2021
Ink Pads: Rich Razzberry, Highland Heather & Evening Evergreen
Blending Brushes
Genial Gems

Assembly & Trix:
* Die cut the flowers from Thick Basic White CS using the Meadow Dies.
* Blend colours on the Meadow Dies using Blending Brushes. ***Trix. colour the stem using Evening Evergreen and the flowers using Rich Razzleberry & Highland Heather. Gradually increase the colour and deepen it on various areas of the bloom and stem. Blend on a scrap piece of paper first to see the colour intensity.
* Decide on placement of the flower grouping on the CS layer, remove the flowers then softly blend the purples in the areas surrounding the flowers to create visual depth.
* Adhere the flowers to the CS layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (glue) and Mini Glue Dots. ***Trix, I chose glue because I wanted some parts of the flowers the be off the card. Some flowers were adhered with rolled glue dots to create added dimension.
* Adhere the CS layer to the card base with glue.
* Stamp the sentiment using Evening Evergreen and adhere it to the strip of In The Wild DSP.
* Adhere the sentiment piece to the card using dimensionals and embellish with Genial Gems.
