So Grateful

Hello Wonderful People,

Welcome back! This week's card was inspired by a friend who does so much for others. I am very grateful to so many people in my life and feel now is the time to say so, with a card.

Like last week, most of what I used in this card came from the fabulous new Ornate Garden Suite and I've highlighted them in green.

Start with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Whisper White Cardstock base, scored at 4 1/4". Trim a piece of Bermuda Bay Cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5". You'll also need some Silver Foil (big enough to die cut 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"), Whisper White (approx 3 1/2" x 4 1/2") for the image and a strip of Vellum (approx 1 1/4" x 4 1/4".)

Using the Rectangle Stitched Dies (the 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" one), cut out your Silver Foil. With the rectangular die from the Ornate Style Bundle, cut out the Vellum Strip. Run your Bermuda Bay through your  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.

Prepare your Whisper White and Vellum rectangle with your Embossing Buddy (which is retiring), Stamp your large floral image, from the Ornate Thanks, on the Whisper White and you greeting, from the Ornate Style Bundle on the vellum with Versa Mark. Heat emboss both with Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder. Tip: Remember to stop as soon as it turns shiny.

Colour your flowers with your Stampin' Blends. I used Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight,  Granny Apple Green and Pool Party. And now for the fun, fussy cut the flower.

With your Multipurpose Liquid Glue, attach the embossed Bermuda Bay to the card front, and the silver foil to the Bermuda Bay. I used the liquid glue to attach the flowers but you could also use Dimensionals. To attach the greeting, use the Mini Glue Dots. Tip: Place them behind the letters so they don't show.
