Rain and snow yesterday - sunshine today. Spring has got to be just around the corner. So flowers are my theme today. Bright red flowers. I made this card from a sketch I saw on Pinterest. This is what I was inspired to do for my card.
1. Fold the
white card base, set aside (8 ½” x 11”).
2. Stamp a small flourish element stamp 6 times on white card stock with black ink and cut out
each one.
3. Using a
small strip of white card stock as a base, line up the 6 flourish squares to it,
aligning
along the bottom of the strip, then glue/tape them in place. You may need to
trim off a bit. Set aside.
4. Stamp a
flower on red card stock. Shade the
flower with PrismaColor pencils: #PC925
Crimson Lake , PC1029 Mahogany, and PC939 Peach. You can use a Germany (blender) to
blend the
colors. Set aside.
5. On the
bottom part of the card base, mat a piece of black card stock (4 1/8” x 4
1/8”),
leaving the right
top unglued.
6. Mat red checked card stock on top of the black (4” x 4”).
7. Glue/tape
the flourish strip approximately ½” down from the top of the red checked layer.
Trim if necessary. Set aside.

8. Next, using the Garden Circle Die - JustRite Dies, die cut it from black card stock. The die
cut a round piece of red patterned paper and glue it to the back of the center of the Garden
Circle die cut. Glue the assembly to the card as shown in picture.

center, and then glue to card.

10. With a
distressing tool, distress the edges of the small script rectangle; edge the
rectangle with
a sponge and Bard Door Distress ink; and then tuck it under the top of the black mat at the
top right. Also, tuck in a couple of little red punched elements.
