Bouquet of Hugs

Happy Friday! It's Jeanne posting today.  I wanted to bring some sunshine to winter so I thought a bouquet of flowers would be nice.
Like many of my cards, I have a general idea of what I want to do but pick colors based upon one element.  In this case I knew I wanted to use this paper, so I picked the flower colors based on that.
The card base is A2 in size and I cut a panel of the floral paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches.  I used the largest of the Double Stitched Rectangle dies for my top panel.
I measured the washi tape for the side (it was 1/2 inch) and trimmed almost that much from the floral panel.  I stuck the washi tape down to the side of the card and then glued the floral panel on top.  I overlapped the washi tape just a very little bit.
Next I die cut the flowers, foliage and vase out of various colors  of card stock and vellum.
I used Distress Oxide inks to color the edges and centers of the greenery and flowers.  I also used the Antique Linen on the sides of the stitched panel.
I used washi tape to temporarily hold down the vase while I glued the stems underneath.  Then I used Ranger Multi Medium Matte to glue down the vellum over the stems.  I used a VERY small amount.  This is the only glue I have found that doesn't show through the vellum.
I removed the washi tape and added the foliage and flowers.  I used an adhesive sheet on the back of the gold card stock before I cut it with the sentiment.  When I placed the sentiment on the card I overlapped the vellum vase and this helped hold that down.  The flowers on the top did the same thing to the top of the vase.

I adhered all layers together and used a few sequins for a bit of sparkle.

Bouquet in Vase

Hi! Vladka here again! 
Flowers are always great way to say thank you to someone. This is why I think that paper bouquet in vase and Thank you note goes together very well. I want to have focal point on the bouquet and so I put it on white background. 
To color all die cut pieces, I put some color on my craft sheet with Distress Inks and added a little water. Then I put die cut pieces into this mixture and waited them to dry. Later I glued everything together and card was finished. Here I used two dies:  Flower Bouquet Jar and Vase with Flowers

I hope you like it! Have a great time!
