Card Class Project March - 1/4

This beautiful flower is created with the current "Love Blossoms" (CC2199) stamp set. This stamp is still available until March 31st.

First we used a 5 1/4"x4" piece of Ballerina cardstock and run it through the Swiss Dot embossing folder (which is sold out). I do love the little dots and the border it creates.
If you like to create a similar impression, use a dot embossing folder and partial emboss the paper. Then place the piece on a softer surface and use a ruler and stylus and score a finishing line or two about the embossed part. Be careful not to apply to much pressure or you perforate your cardstock.

Next we stamped one of the "Love Blossom" flowers in Pixie ink onto the top of the paper (the part were we didn't emboss)

We also used a partial of the stamp and the same ink to stamp on the inside of the card.


For the flag part, we cut a piece of white cardstock at 2"x3 3/4". We stamped the "Thank You" towards the right side and then cut the fin part. The little strip below the flag is cute at 1/4"x3".

For the thread part, wrap the thread a couple times around two of your fingers, remove from your fingers. Hold the bundle together at the two ends. Press everything into a small glue dot and place the glue dot on the card front. The dot will be covered with the flag.

The flag is raised with a few foam dots and the small strip is adhered just below the flag on the base.

The inside phrase is stamped with the same Charcoal ink we used on the front. A little doodling on the inside and we are almost done. We used a clear Shimmer Brush (Z3293) to accent the middle of the flowers and the berries.
