Thank You for Being So Amazing Card

Let's Get started!

I start by gathering the components for the card. I trimmed the green gingham pattern paper to 3", the rose pattern to 1-1/4", I also trimmed a piece of Aspire Petallics Autumn Hay cardstock to 1". I die cut flowers from watercolor paper 5x, (I cut some of the leaves off for extra layering) and a card front panel from white cardstock. I pulled a few embellishments as well- washi, rhinestone flowers, puffy hearts and more (note - I didn't use all the embellishments I pulled - Yes, I am an overpuller 😉)

I used the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Tattered Rose (from the Kit), Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Worn Lipstick, Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Bundled Sage & Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Peeled Paint. I added a bit of water to the ink I smudged on my craft mat. I then used a paintbrush and colored the flowers and stems. On 2 of the flowers, I took out the little pieces, but on one of the flowers, I left all the pieces in - that is where I used the Worn Lipstick & Peeled paint to create some contrast and dimension. I set them aside to dry.

Next, I start to assemble the card. I adhered the green pattern paper first, then the rose pattern paper. Then, I put a strip of gold washi onto the Aspire Autumn Hay Petallics cardstock. Next, I placed the Aspire Autumn Hay Petallics cardstock on top of the seam of the two pattern papers.

Then, I gathered the dried flowers and adhere them to the front of the card. I place the two flowers that I removed the bits from down first. I then add a bit of foam adhesive to the flower with all the bit in and place it on top of the other flowers. arranging them to the left of the card. I tucked the extra leaves in under the flowers.

Next, I decide on the rhinestone flowers (from the kit) and some puffy hearts for embellishments. I added 3 of the rhinestone flowers on the watercolored flowers. I then added 2 tiny puffy gold hearts by the flowers.
