Project Inspiration {Always Remember}

With Memorial Day tomorrow, I wanted to make something fitting and appropriate for the day! I will be showing you how I created this card for this weekend's Project Inspiration feature for Papertrey Ink.

This card came together in 7 steps, but six fit on the grid much better! ha ha! I will share the 7th step in the post!

I brought in some older favorites paired with a few new things to bring this card to life!

step 1: Blend Spring Rain ink around the edges of an A2 panel of Spring Rain cardstock.

Step 2: Glue the Cover Plate: Ornate diecut to the panel using liquid glue.

Step 3: Cut two Oval Frames from white cardstock and glue them together. Attach them to the background using foam squares.

Step 4: Cut the pieces for the poppies from white cardstock. Add the color using dye ink and blender brushes. Glue them together with foam squares and liquid glue and then attach them to the frame.

Step 5: cut the foliage and accent flowers and color them the same as the poppies. Arrange them on the frame using liquid glue and foam squares.

Step 6: Heat emboss the sentiment using gold powder. Cut it out and then attach it inside the frame using foam squares. Add a trio of gold drops using liquid glue.

Step 7: Apply glitter to the flowers and foliage using a two-way glue pen.

I always like to use foam squares with these large flowers to give them realistic dimension.

I toyed around with heat embossing the sentiment on Pure Poppy cardstock which could be a bold alternative.

I have been loving adding light blue and pink to my patriotic cards!

Thanks for fluttering by!
