To begin with, I started by running through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine the solid die from the; Fabulous Floral Layering Die to die-cut 3X the floral image out of Heavy Weight white cardstock. Next, I ran through the die-cutting machine the leaves die to die-cut them out of the same heavy weight white cardstock. Once, I had the solid die-cutting pieces done, I set them aside, and I ran through the die-cutting machine the outline dies to die-cut them also out of the same heavy weight white cardstock.
Right after when I was done die-cutting all pieces, I put them on top of a large piece of freezer paper and I completely inked every single piece up with WOW! Embossing Ink. Then, I heat embossed 2 out of the 3 die-cutting flowers with Hydrangea and 1with Sunflower both powders are from the WOW! Trio Parc Floral. To create a cool effect, I used once again the sprinkling technique that I used last week over the heat embossing. If you don’t know what I’m talking about ⇾ CLICK HERE TO READ LAST WEEK’S BLOG.
After I was done heat embossing the flowers, I set them aside and I heat embossed the leaves. As, for the leaves, I created my own Green embossing powder by mixing; Capri (WOW! Trio Italian Adventure), Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder, Clear Gloss Embossing Powder, Lime Rickey Embossing Glitter and WOW! Opaque White Ultra High. Once, I achieved the hue that I was looking for, I heat embossed the leaves, and I finished the heat embossing by heat glitter embossing the outline die-cutting pieces with Sparkling Sand embossing glitter(WOW! Trio Dockside)
Lastly, to assemble the card first; I dry embossed a white card panel using; Lumber 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder which, I trimmed and foam mounted to an A2 top folding white card base. Second; I glued down with liquid glue the outline die-cutting pieces to the solid pieces. Third; I created a floral cluster with all die-cutting pieces. To created the cluster, I glued down the leaves with liquid glue then, I glued down the first set of flowers. Last but not least, I adhered down the last flower with foam mounting tape to create a bit of dimension.
Finally, to finish the card off, I mounted a dimensional sentiment that I had previously foiled using one of the; Yana's Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set. And, as a finishing touch, I glued down with liquid glue here and there a few Crystal Confetti for an extra touch of shine. With that being said, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the step by step on how I’ve created today’s Best Wishes card.
