HIBISCUS THANK YOU

Today’s card features the Happy Hibiscus Bundle.  I wanted to play around with some colors you don’t often see paired.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and used the Hybrid 3D Embossing folder from the bundle to emboss it, once it was embossed, I added it to my card base.  Next, I started to cut out my pieces, I cut out four of the leaves from the bundle, 2 from Lost Lagoon cardstock and 2 from Pretty Peacock cardstock.  Then I used the Bough Punch and punched out 2 of the bigger branches of leaves from Pretty Peacock cardstock and 2 of the little flower ones from Bubble Bath cardstock.  Now it was time for the main focal point.  I took a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock that measured 3 x 4” and laid it along with the coordinating die in the Hybrid Embossing Folder being sure to get all three of the flowers lined up to emboss and cut.  This folder and die are such a great idea, emboss and cut at the same time!  Once those were cut out, I used a Blending Brush and some Bubble Bath Ink to add just a little color to each of the flowers.  I did use Wink of Stella to add to the center of the larger two flowers. 

With everything cut I simply started laying things out to space them the way I wanted (reserve the middle size flower for the inside of the card).  Once that was all figured out, I started to adhere things.  I began with the two branches I punched and used my bone folder to curl them on the ends just a little before adhering the bottoms directly to the card.  Then I did the same thing with the little Bubble Bath flowers that were punched and added them.  I gave each of the leaves a little movement using that bone folder technique before adhering them.  Finally, I added my flowers using Dimensionals.

For my sentiment I die cut the circle from the bundle out of Bubble Bath cardstock and stamped the sentiment “Thanks for Being So Kind” from the bundle onto it with Pretty Peacock Ink.  I added that at the right bottom.  For the final embellishments I added three of the Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio embellishments and a bow created from the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording (this was attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

For the inside of the card, I used the second largest flower and adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.
