Melinda here with you, on this wonderful day! It is scheduled to be pretty warm here in Florida so getting some crafty time in is a great way to send the day! For today's project, I am sharing a simple and pretty card I created with dies from the amazing new Flowers & More release from Cottage Cutz!
All the dies in this collection are a wonderful addition to your crafty stash. Here is my projects for today.
My card is an A2 top folding card. I started with a white cardstock base. I then added a mat from some patterned paper and also a mat of black cardstock. Each a 1/4" smaller than the mat.
I then cut out the pretty flower 1 die from regular white cardstock. I used my markers to color in the petals and the leaves. For this flower, I layered two layers of the flower petals together. I offset the top layer slightly and also gave the top layer a bit of curve so it would have a touch of dimension. I also layered the two smaller petals.
You can also see that I used the double stitched oval die to cut out the patterned paper mat. I layered all of that onto a scalloped oval die cut with white cardstock. I then added some sequins for an extra decorative touch.
To finish off the card, I die cut the second smallest double stitched oval die cut from the set with white cardstock. I also cut out the Thanks die in white cardstock. I colored it in with some dark gray marker. It almost looks black but not quite.
Here is one last look at my finished card. I think it turned out super cute! I think layering the main flower piece gives this flower some great dimension!
