Designer’s Tip: Layer the flowers together to create a large focal with embossed black swirls, leaves and tiny flowers for contrasting accents.
Instructions:
- Front: Place your blank card with the fold at the top. Ink the outer 1/2" edge around the card front with black ink and let dry. Cut a 6 1/4"x4 3/4" Rhapsody white/black dots paper and glue it centered on the card front. Cut a 6 1/4"x2” Rhapsody white/black tiny flowers paper and mat the long sides on Rhapsody black textured paper with 1/16” borders. Glue across the card, 1” from the top. Cut a 6 1/4"x5/8” strip from Rhapsody striped paper and glue even with the bottom of the white/black dots paper.
- Use the die cutting machine to die cut several flowers of all the sizes from Rhapsody orange textured paper, red textured paper, blue/black dots paper, and black textured paper. Ink several of the black textured flowers and the outline flower shapes with VersaMark™ ink. Sprinkle with black super fine embossing powder and tap off the excess. Heat to melt with the heat gun. Repeat for 3 black textured sprigs of leaves, and 3 swirls.
- Layer flowers together with foam tape, alternating colors and sizes as shown. Arrange sprigs of leaves and swirls on the black/white portion of the card front, with the flowers overlapping them in a cluster as shown. Zot™ pieces in place.
- Use the Tiny Tags & Little Labels Template to trace Squared Tag B on white cardstock. Cut it out, and mat on black cardstock with very thin borders. Place Dazzles™ “Thinking of You” centered on the tag and glue angled on the right side of the card as shown. Add a small layered flower on the end of the tag. Decorate the flower centers with White Jewel Dazzles™.
- Inside: Cut a 6 1/2"x3/4” strip of Rhapsody striped paper and glue even with the bottom of the card. Cut a 3 3/4"x2” white/black tiny flowers paper and mat long sides on Rhapsody black textured paper with 1/16” borders. Cut a 3 3/4"x1 1/4" white/black dots paper and mat long sides on Rhapsody black textured paper with 1/16” borders. Glue centered across the matted white/black tiny flowers paper. Mat the entire piece on black cardstock with 1/16” borders. Glue centered on the card,
1 3/4" from the bottom.
- Trace a Bracket Label B shape onto white cardstock. Cut it out, and then mat on black cardstock with very thin borders. Place Dazzles™ “Get Better Quick!” centered on the label and glue centered on the white/black dots paper. Arrange sprig of leaves, swirl, and a layered flower on the left side of the inside as shown. Zot™ in place. Add White Jewel Dazzles™ as shown.
