Hello crafty friends! Oooh, I had so much fun making this card I'm sharing today! There are so many beautiful elements in Honey Bee Stamps gorgelous Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals! I went with a less traditional color palette for the florals and I love how this turned out!
First I chose several colors of cardstock from my stash. Then I looked at the Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday FloralsLayering Guide (found in the product description in the shop) to start planning what color of cardstock I wanted to use for each of the florals.
Before I continue, let me tell you about my tip for sorting out all of the dies! (I will share a photo below to give you a visual of these tips.) This will make it so easy for you to use this set. First I assigned a number to each of the different florals in the Mini Holiday Florals and wrote it on the Layering Guide. Then I went about gathering and sorting the dies according to the number. Once I had the dies sorted out, I added the corresponding number to the card the dies come on. Then I used a fine point Sharpie to add the number to the back of each die for that flower. See what I mean in this photo:
After I die cut the Mini Holiday Florals, I used glue to assemble the flowers.
Next I die cut three snowflakes that are in the Lovely Layers: Large Snowflakes Honey Cuts from #110 white cardstock. I used a palette tool to add Snowfall Distress Grit Paste to the snowflakes and sprinkled on Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter. I set them aside to dry.
I added an embossed panel made with the gorgeous Snowflakes 3D embossing folder to an A2 card base. I did a bit of planning of the arrangement of the Mini Holiday Florals. Then I tucked the two larger snowflakes under the left bottom and upper right corners. I used foam dots and glue to adhere the floral elements. I glued the small snowflake onto the arrangement.
The sentiment is from the new Great Greetings: Holiday set and adhered with glue and foam tape.
I decided I wanted a bit more subtle sparkle so I used a paint brush to add more Snowfall Distress Grit Paste to the leaves and flower petals. FYI, the paste easily washed out of my paint brush.
I hope you have enjoyed my card making process and found the tips for sorting the dies helpful. Thank you so much for stopping by!
