Wow! It's been awhile! Thanks for joining me today for this weekend's Papertrey Ink Project Inspiration! I normally create with a lot of layers, but I wanted the stenciling and pot of flowers to take center stage!
The grasshoppers are eating all of my flowers from my pots and flowerbeds so I guess the paper variety will have to bloom this year! ha ha!
This card comes together in six easy steps and I'll guide you through each step!
Step 1: Foil an A2 panel of Pale Peony cardstock using the beautiful Fall Harvest Hot Foil Plate and champagne foil. I like champagne more than regular gold because it isn't as yellow.
Step 2: Use bright colors of ink on an A2 panel of white cardstock using the Baby's Breath Stencil Collection. Cut it using the largest die included in the Rounded Rectangles: Pierced Die and add it to the foiled panel using foam squares.
Step 3: Cut the pot from white cardstock using the Perfectly Potted Die. Add the ink using blender brushes; my perfect recipe for a realistic terracotta pot is Berry Sorbet ink, Canyon Clay, and Terracotta Tile. Stamp the sentiment in black using the Just Sentiments: Welcome Spring onto the pot. Adhere it to the background using foam squares.
Step 4: Cut and color the foliage; it is included with the pot die. Tuck it into the pot and secure with foam squares.
Step 5: Cut the flowers and additional leaves from white cardstock using the Into the Blooms: Fall Boot Die. Color the pieces using the same colors as the stenciled background. Arrange them in and around the pot using additional foam squares.
Step 6: Add glitter to the flowers and foliage.
This would also make a fun interactive card; you could have a sliding mechanism behind the pot so the recipient could pull something out.
I always like to shape my flowers with a stylus and a foam mat.
It's been quiet around here, but don't fret, I will be sharing quite a bit in the near future, so stay tuned! Thanks for fluttering by!
