Spring Bouquet It’s Your Day

This stamp set from Simon Says Stamp has two beautiful flower bouquets. This image is so large that it will not fit on an A2 cardbase, so I decided to do a slimline card. I rarely make these card, but I think it turned out lovely.

The image was stamped on a half sheet of cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. When the coloring was complete a slimline stitched rectangle was used to cut down the image. I decided to add some additional interest and ran the slimline rectangle through a couple of passes with the Stampin' Up Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, which add a lovely linen look to the paper.

A cardbase was made from white cardstock measuring 8-1/2 x 7-1/2" and folded in half. The flower panel was adhered to the front using dotliner adhesive.

I pulled out a previously hot foiled sentiment from my stash and added low loft foam tape to the back. It was adhered in the bottom right of the card. A few sequins were scattered around the top of the flowers and the card was done.
