A project from our live show THE ART OF CARDISTRY - Join me for my Creative Card Session with all my wonderful USA following - Broadcast 11th SEP 23 · 09/11/2023 · watch it from 34:15
Create an elegant greeting card using the Midnight Blooms collection in navy and pink. This project features a beautiful floral patterned background, a decorative vellum envelope overlay with dimensional layered flowers, and a heartfelt sentiment. The design combines stamping, die-cutting, and layering techniques to achieve a sophisticated finish.
Cut two decorative lace border dies and overlap them on the floral patterned paper until the pattern repeats seamlessly. Secure the overlapped dies at the back with tape.
