Our wonderful sponsor this month is Scrappy Tails, a company new to me. I placed an order for a flower die bundle and a glimmer plate & was very happy with the items. Scrappy Tails has generously donated a $25 gift card to their store which we'll award to our random winner in early August.
You might ask - Linda, don't you have enough flower die sets? Well, I made room for a few more - lol. On this card I die cut flower pieces (some glitter paper) from one set and the leaves (glitter paper) from another. Teamie Arlene (A Bit of This and That) had stamped off some flower sentiments for me so I made use of one here. Thanks Arlene!!
Rather than foiling the deco frame, I letterpressed it using Leaf ink. It's a thick plate so I had to remove all the shims before it would go through the Betterpress! Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out. Backed it with some LF speckled paper before adding to an A2 card. Added the blossom, leaves and sentiment - very quick and easy!
Ready for a bonus? I did another deco frame using Strawberry ink. This one I stacked with more die cuts for dimension and the look of a painting:

Thanks again to Arlene who stamped off some German village elements for me - aren't they the cutest?! Sadly, they're sold out of this set at Scrappy Tails.... I colored them with Copics & assembled atop a snowflake paper with sparkly hills. Added the stacked frame and then adhered to an A2 card. Added sparkle lacquer to to the snow on the buildings. Popped a sentiment up with foam tape. Such a fun card to put together!
I'll add card one to Darnell's July NBUS Challenge #64 since the flower, leaves and frame are newly used. I'll add card two to the current Christmas Kickstart Challenge #88 featuring Festive Frames (my 3rd of 3 max entries)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you in our July Diva gallery using some die cuts (or embossing folders) and glitter!! You have until 9pm Pacific Time on July 31, 2024 to enter. Good luck!!
