Spring Floral with Lawn Fawn

Happy Thursday crafty friends, Ashley D, here!  Since we’ve now had a couple days of sun, and a few days of rain, it feels like spring.  And I just felt like getting floral!  So today I created an easy floral card that can really work for any occasion with a simple change of sentiment.  

To begin, I die cut a white A2 rectangular (4.25”x5.5”) using the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables.  To create the swirl opening, I bisected the rectangular using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border dies, discarding the middle.  I then ink-blended a yellow background onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade, giving it the same stitched border.  I adhered to a plain white A2 cardbase with Tombow Mono Tape Adhesive, and then topped it with the first two white rectangle pieces with foam adhesive, giving the opening depth.  

I then stamped several floral images from Lawn Fawn Flutter By, GleefulGardens, Fairy Friends, and Eggstra Special Easter in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored them in with Copic Markers, using my mother’s favorite colors of oranges and yellows  - Y000, Y00, Y11, Y15, YR00, YR12, YR14, YR20, YR23, YR31, YR04, G00, YG41, W0, W1.  I then cut each out with the coordinating dies (Flutter By, Gleeful Gardens, Fairy Friends, and Eggstra Special Easter), and adhered them to the opening with either tape runner or foam adhesive, depending on the depth.  

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words in the same black ink onto white cardstock and cut it out with the coordinating Big Scripty Words Lawn Cuts.  To make the sentiment thicker, I layered two additional white die cuts and glued it to the front using my favorite Quickie Glue Pen. Happy spring everyone!
