I had a hard time photographing this card in my all-white setting...the colors just got lost, so after 4 times of going back and forth from the photo set up to my computer and Photoshop, I gave up and snapped a picture at my worktable. Actually, it didn't come out that bad, you can really see the dimension and all the textures involved with the card. Speaking of details...here are the instructions to make this card:
Cut 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of Vintage Cream card stock at the 5 1/2" mark, score at 5 1/2" and fold. Score card base at 1/8" and 1/4" increments around the perimeter. Add a 4 7/8" panel of patterned paper to the base. Glue a strip of lace across the middle horizontally. With the Daisy Patch die, cut out 4 of the second largest and 6 each of the next 3 sizes down. Bend petals slightly towards middle, stagger two of each size die-cut and adhere to middle of each layer. Add pearls to centers. To make the sentiment panel, cut out the largest Labels Eighteen and Oval Nestability dies. Adorn oval with liquid pearls around the perimeter. Trace inside of Labels Eighteen with a Spica pen. Stamp sentiment onto cream card stock and die cut with Cross die. While paper is still in die, sponge edges and exposed card stock. After removing from die, dot liquid pearls onto flourishes. Once dry, add cross to Oval panel with dimensionals. Adhere that panel to Labels Eighteen and secure to card base with dimensionals. Add flowers to bottom left and upper right corners, add pearl flourishes.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
