Lovely Lily Pad meets New Wonders

Hi, welcome to my haven in a hectic world, thanks for joining me today.

Happy Birthday Peg!

I'm always nervous doing Peg's card as she's my Stampin' Up upline and of course I want to impress. Hope she likes it.
All measurements are in centimetres.

(cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder, (ss) = stamp set,

Petal Pink 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5 (card base), 15 x 5 (wavy lines), 7.5 x 8 (swirls), Whisper White 14 x 10 (1st layer), 6 x6 (flower), 5 x 5 (circle).
  • Using the swirly scribbles dies and the petal pink (cs) die cut the waves and swirls.
  • With the 6 x 6 whisper white (cs) stamp the outline flower from the lovely lily pads (ss) using memento black ink, then flip the stamp on the block so the flat side up and stamp again using petal pink ink. As you can see it doesn't fit the outline stamp perfectly, but that's how its supposed to be.
  • With the smallest piece of whisper white (cs) stamp the happy birthday from the new wonders (ss) in petal pink ink.
  • Now die cut the flower using the lily pad dies, and the happy birthday using the stitched labels dies.
  • Lightly sponge down the left hand side of the 1st layer whisper white (cs) using petal pink ink. If I was doing this card again I'd take the sponging right to the edge.
  • Emboss this layer using the stone 3D (ef).
  • Adhere the waves to the 1st layer using liquid glue.
  • Wrap a piece of the petal pink metallic edged ribbon across the 1st layer at the bottom adhering to the back using glue dots, then tie a faux bow at the front.
  • Attach this layer to card base using dimensional pads.
  • Place the swirls where you want it to be and adhere down, again using liquid glue.
  • Attach the happy birthday sentiment using dimensional pads along with the lily.
  • Add some champagne rhinestones. 
Will be back again soon with more cards, enjoy the rest of your day!
