Stepping Up Winter Bouquet with Foil and Shimmer

/

Hello there, Sam here. Playing with the new LDRS Creative festive Holiday Release. Love how the Winter Bouquet Collection gives you a variety of different options, stamp, stencil and die depending on your favourite way to craft. For today I am using the Winter Bouquet Etched Die. Such a detailed die that has embossed details throughout the floral and an outline die.

 
 

Prep Work:

  • Die cut the Winter Bouquet Etched Die from both metallic green foil card stock (remove internal pieces) and light pink cardstock.

  • Die cut from white the Celebrate sentiment from the Elegant Sentiment Die set 3 times.

  • Cut a dark blue panel (slightly lighter tone than Dark Wash Jeans ink) that measures 3 1/2” x 4 3/4”.

  • Grab an A2 size (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) card base.

Get the look:

  • Ink blend around the Dark Wash Jeans ink. This will create a vignette and graduation from dark to slightly lighter tone blue.

  • Adhere the dark blue cardstock to the A2 card base.

  • Using a light green shimmer paint or a green shimmer mica spray, splatter the dark blue cardstock and card base.

  • Lay the green foil winter bouquet outline in bottom right corner over hanging edge, off the card base in a position you like. Glue and trim the excess of the flower bouquet.

  • Take the remaining green foil flower bouquet outline and position in the upper left corner. Glue and trim off any access.

  • Using Peachy Keen ink add some shading to the pink flower petal pieces. (Save the pink winter bouquet frame for another project).

  • Inlay and glue the pink flower petals in the metallic green frame.

  • Glue the 3 pieces of the celebrate sentiment together to give them some sturdiness and depth.

  • Adhere the Celebrate to the card.

 
 

Happy papercrafting : )
