I created an A2 card base and layered on white cardstock die cut with the largest Scallop A2 Card Frames die. Then I die cut some patterned paper from the Summer Stems paper pad with a Sweet Stacks: Rectangles die. I adhered the layers with Bee Creative glue.
Next I die cut all of the Lovely Layers: Magnolia dies two times from 80# Neenah. I used ink blending brushes to add some Scattered Straw Distress ink to the centers of each layer. I colored the stamens and carpels (yes I looked that up! LOL!) with Fossilized Amber and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks.
Before I finished the card front, I stamped the sentiment from the Perfect Day stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I added foam tape to the back to adhere them to the card.
For even more dimension in the magnolia blossoms, I placed foam dots and squares between the magnolia layers and adhered them to the card with glue. After I blended on Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress inks onto the leaves, I tucked those under and around the flowers with glue.
This newest Lovely Layers set is definitely at the top of my favorites! What do you think?
