Project Recipe
Start with a Granny Apple Green cardstock card base. Cut an Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper panel and a Basic White cardstock panel. Dry emboss the Basic White cardstock panel with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Build the card front panel by laying the embossed panel down on the card front, add a small amount of glue to the back of the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper, and then layer the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper panel over the embossed panel making sure it that your built panel is 5 1/4". Wrap the built panel across the transition with Natural Finish ribbon using Stampin' Seal to secure the ends on the back of the panel. and then glue the wrapped panel to the card base.
Stamp the large four apple image from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. Die cut out the image with the Apple Blossoms dies. Color the image with Stampin' Blends. Die cut large and small Granny Apple Green cardstock leaves with the Apple Blossoms dies. Die cut Basic White cardstock flower petals (six large & three small) with the Apple Blossoms dies. Use Stampin' Blends to add color to the die cut flower petals. Curl the petals with a bone folder. Add Wink of Stella to the center of the small flower petals.
Build the bouquet on the colored die cut image. Create three flowers with two large flower petals and one small flower petal per flower using glue dots. Use a Stampin' Dimensional to add each flowers to the die cut image. Use glue and glue dots to tuck the die cut leaves around the flowers. Add Iridescent rhinestones to the flower centers. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the built flower bouquet to the card front on the upper right side overlapping the Designer Series Paper panel, the embossed panel, and the wrapped ribbon.
Stamp the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. Fussy cut out the sentiment and flag the end with paper snips. Use the bone folder to slightly curl the sentiment banner. Color the Black & White Gingham ribbon with the Light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend, tie a small bow, and add it to the card front with glue dots overlapping the image and Designer Series Paper. Use the Stampin' Dimensional at one end and a glue dot in the middle of the sentiment banner to attach the sentiment banner to the card front tucked under the image and overlapping the ribbon. Add black Classic Matte Dots to the card front.
Don't forget to add a Basic White cardstock inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set and add a strip of Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
