Hello everyone! I am happy to finally share my favorite card that features my favorite bundle: “To a Wild Rose”. I copied this card from a demonstrator inspiration/training email. There was only a picture in the email; I had to figure out the supplies, peek through technique, and assembling on my own. Took a little bit of work but I love the layout and colors so much it was worth it. Plus, now I can share it with all of you. 🙂
Scroll down past the pictures of the card to find a video walking you through how to create this card.
I love the white on white of the die cuts on the card base and how that contrasts with the pops of color from the leaves and flower. I adhered the three background die cuts with liquid glue. Then I die cut a circle off to the right hand side using the second largest regular (non-scalloped) circle die cut from the Layering Circle Die set. I cut the frame with the first and third largest circle dies from the same set and adhered the frame with glue dots. The basic black banner is 3/8″ x 3 1/2″. I flagged the right end, embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and adhered the banner with glue dots to the frame.
The peek through element even looks sharp from the inside. 🙂 I decided to include a frame on the inside to keep the clean, minimalist look. Remind me of a ship’s porthole. lol
The flower uses two of three flower stamps from the To a Wild Rose Set. There is an base layer, an accent layer, and an outline layer. I used Grapefruit Grove for my base layer and Calypso Coral for the accent layer. I skipped the outline on this flower. I stamped the center of the flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I popped the flower up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and arranged the leaves and black accent pieces around the flower, adhering them with glue dots.
