dsp = designer series paper 

1. base card 14.5 x 21 scored at 10.5  
2. dsp cut at 8 x 14.2
3. die cut the split card texture, then trim it down to 10 x 14.2 and adhere the dsp to the back of it.
4. emboss this layer and adhere to the base card
5. add the ribbon as a background for the flowers
6. stamp the flowers (emboss just the one flower) and leaves then die cut them 
7. stamp the sentiments (these need to be stamped separately and cut down to size)

Linen Speciality Paper meets Nature's Prints and more

  Welcome to my blog

and  thank you for joining me today!

Happy 4th Anniversary to Alison & Rob

As the 4th anniversary is linen i incorporated it into the background, and used only 3 colours for this card. Also there is both dry and heat embossing used.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: gray granite, very vanilla

Designer Series Paper: linen

Dies: deckled rectangles (6), natural prints

Embossing powder: clear

Embossing Folders: bricks & mortar 3D, fern 3D

Ink: blushing bride, versamark

Punches: lovely labels

Stamp Sets: * express yourself, *love & happiness, nature's prints

Accessories: *bakers twine, *polished dots

• Emboss the first layer using the bricks & mortar folder, then adhere to base card.
• Emboss the linen using the fern folder, remove backing and adhere to card.
• Stamp and die cut the flower elements and attach to card using dimensionals.
• Make two banners using the punch, one narrow and one not so narrow.
• Use the banners for the sentiments, double load the stamp with versamark and blushing bride before stamping and adding the embossing powder.
• Add a polished dot to the centre of the flower, then a bow to the stems.
• It sounds a lot, but once stamped and die cut it's easy to put together 

* = no longer available, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest.
