Country Floral Birthday - The Paper Players #434

I love the Country Floral Embossing Folder, one of the latest SAB offerings.  The 3D images created when using this folder are fantastic.

For this card I wanted to try a different technique using this embossing folder to create a unique background which will be used for the sketch challenge with The Paper Players here






To create the background, Blueberry Bushel ink was applied directly to the Country Floral Embossing Folder, adding a piece of Whisper White card stock into the folder before running it through the Big Shot.


This was trimmed to  4 1/4 by 5 1/2" and added to  Blueberry Bushel top fold card stock base.  At the bottom a 1 1/4" by 5 1/4" trip of Blueberry Bushel striped DSP was added.

The sentiment, die cut using the Well Said framelits was die cut twice, once in Silver Foil, and once in Blueberry Bushel card stock.  After adhering the two together, slightly off setting each other, the sentiment was adhered to a 1 1/4" strip of Whisper White card stock, which was pointed at one end. Three sprigs punched in Silver Foil, and  Silver metallic thread was added to the card front and the sentiment panel was added over these using dimensionals.

The word "wishes" was stamped and placed below the sentiment.



Three butterflies punched with the Duet butterfly punch using Silver Foil were added to the card front - two on the sentiment panel and one at the upper right.  Two rhinestones were added to each butterfly.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Well Said
Ink:Blueberry Bushel
Papers:  Blueberry Bushel, Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel DSP, Silver Foil
Accessories:  Country Floral Embossing Folder, Well Said Framelits, Spring Punch, Silver Thread, Duet Butterfly Punch
