Hello Honey Bee friends! Today I'm sharing (another) card featuring one of my favorites: the Lovely Layers: Dianthus! Birthday cards are one of my favorite types of cards to make since it is always a happy occasion!
I guess you can say I'm doing a "series" of pink cards with Lovely Layers florals! If you missed them, check out this blog post, and this one too!
The first thing I did was make my inked and texture paste background. I used the Garden Lattice stencil set (now at a "sweet price") and a blending brush to ink Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink onto white cardstock. Then I placed the second stencil over the panel and spread a white pearl texture paste through it. I removed the stencil and cleaned up my tools.
While the panel dried I die cut all of the dies of the Lovely Layers: Dianthus set from white cardstock. I used ink blending brushes to color the layers with Distress Oxide inks in these colors: Picked Raspberry, Shabby Shutters, and Rustic Wilderness.
I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the layers together. Refer to the downloadable Layering Guide found in the website's product description, if needed.
With the stenciled panel dry, I used the largest die in the Spring Vine Layering Frames Honey Cuts to cut the panel out. Then I glued it to an A2 card base.
The sentiment is from another oldie, but definitely goodie, set called Bitty Buzzwords. I stamped the sentiments with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink. Then I cut out the "birthday" sentiment with the coordinating die and trimmed the "happy" to a strip.
I glued the Dianthus to the card. Then I added foam tape to the sentiments to adhere them to the card.
I am loving getting my stash of birthday cards filled! I hope you are enjoying my series of Lovely Layers florals. Now I get to choose another set for next week's post!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful and crafty day!
