Happy Wednesday!!
Welcome to my blog again. It’s inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations. Continuing with their latest release I have another card focusing on Decorative Slim Rectangle Dies. This card was so easy to create. Simply split the long Slimline die into two and place it little off center. Use the center space to make a nice floral display for the card front.

Instructions: The ready top-fold card base from smooth white cardstock measures, 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″. Choose the designer paper from the Garden Lily Collection and cut to size measuring 4 3/4″ by 7 3/4″ Glue the panel on white cardstock creating a sleek border of 1/16″ on all sides. Next, cut another mat from Luxe Gold Cardstock, creating a delicate border of 1/16″ on all sides. Layer the panel on the ready card base using double-sided tapes for extra dimensions.
To decorate the card front, choose the paper from the designer paper collection and cut its solid frame using the outermost die from the HCD3-7448 Slim Ornate Rectangle Die set. Next, cut the lacy frame in white cardstock and gold cardstock and glue them together keeping the gold one on the bottom, creating a delicate gold shadow. Secure the ready lacy frame on the solid panel with printer tape and chop the inner part apart. Remove the tape and layer the chopped frames on the solid frame using double-sided tape. Further, layer these panels on the ready card base as shown.
For blue-gold vellum Lilies, Stamp the flowers on Vellum Flowerette cardstock using Hero Arts Versamark ink and sprinkle golden heat embossing powder. Dust extras in the funnel tray and heat set the flower petals. Cut the petals using its coordinating die. Color the petals using Broken China distress Oxide and shape them using flower-shaping tools. Form the flowers and prick the center to add Petite Pollen Stamens – Medium. Prepare 1 medium flower of 3 petals and 2 small flowers of 2 petals each. Also, white heat emboss the butterfly from Small Floral Butterfly Cling Stamp Set in the same way and cut it using its coordinating die. Shape the butterfly a little with a needle tool for extra dimensions.
Stamp, color, and cut a few Wisteria flowers using Leaf Green Archival ink, color them in the center using the same ink and shape them using a flower shaping kit. Add flower beads using a glossy accent and use these flowers as fillers.
Stamp 2 sets of leaves using Leafy Accent stamp and Olive Green Archival ink and cut them using its coordinating die. Color the leaves using the same inks and shape them using a deluxe flower shaping kit. Once, all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown and complete the card by adding a sentiment strip.
