This is such a simple idea for a card, but I think it results in a real eye-catcher.
I had some green, wood-grain-embossed card blanks, which made a great background for my flowers. I cut two layers of each flower (you could certainly do more layers!) and then did some ink-blending at their centers before glueing the layers together.
I used a leaf die to cut out three leaves for each card. I did a little ink-blending on them, too. I also cut some flower centers from gold metallic cardstock.
The sentiment was stamped, cut out and popped up with foam tape.
I love the look of the ink blending. It really adds some nice dimension to the petals.
On the inside, I added thin strips of the same colors of cardstock that I had used to create the flowers. The stamped sentiment was centered between the strips on the left and the right side of the white panel.
This card design could easily be used for a thank you, birthday, anniversary, get well, or thinking of you card. It's so versatile and fun to make. Different flower dies could be used--you just may want to make sure they're big enough to span the width of the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
