Shaded Summer with the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper
March 24, 2023
Hello to you today! I'm using the Shaded Summer stamp set and the Summer Shadows dies for the flowers on this card. We'll also be using the Stitched Rectangles dies and the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper.
My card base is Thick Basic White cut to 4 1/4 x 11, scored and folded at 5 1/2.
I found a piece of the Fancy Flora paper that had a more subdued print on the back. Cut your piece to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. This is the same size as the card front. Turn your paper to the subdued side and cut the 4th panel in from the Stitched Rectangle dies. Cut from the center of the paper. This puts the nice stitching on your panel. If you look closely at my sample, I cut mine from the busy side. The stitching is a bit different and not quite as pretty. Now cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock using the 3rd rectangle in from the dies.
Glue the outside busy paper to the front of your card. That leaves a big hole but don't worry. It will be covered. Glue the subdued small rectangle to the center of the macaron cardstock. Put dimensionals on the back and adhere this panel over the hole to the center of the card front.
I chose to use Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride for my flowers. Blushing Bride was not quite the color I needed. I used the Calypso Coral pad and a Blending Brush to take care of that. Cut a solid flower and bud from Calypso Coral cardstock. Cut the detailed flower and bud from Blushing Bride. Now cut three of the leaves from Mint Macaron.
Let me insert a note here please. I don't know why I didn't think to look at Petal Pink. It has the perfect tone for the Fancy Flora DSP. Frankly though, I would probably still use my Blending Brush and Calpso Coral ink with it.
Use a Blending Brush to add color to the detailed parts of the paper. This matches that color to the designer paper. Crush the layers in your fist and adhere the parts. Add the flowers with dimensionals. I did end up making another layer of the detailed flower for the full flower. Do not align the layers.
Add Mint Macaron color to the leaves with a Blending Brush. This will make the leaves show up a little better.
The saying is from the Shaded Summer stamp set. Stamp in Calypso Coral on Basic White. Cut out with the Stylish Shapes dies. Add a dimensional under the end on the left and glue the rest.
Add the leaves around the flowers.
Here is the inside of the card. The saying is from Shaded Summer. Add a flower bud in the same way as on the front of the card.
There you go! I love this card! Thanks for joining me today. I appreciate that you spent time with me. I hope you'll try this lay out. I did have a card on here with my last post that has this lay out. It is so different though from this one. Just scroll down to the last post!
