I am super excited to show you more Cottage Rose Bundle and Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper (DSP). Did you know that one of the Cottage Flower dies actually die-cuts lots of the little images from a sheet of Abigail Rose DSP? This sheet to be exact. 

“WooHoo”, said I. And I proceeded to die-cut all the pieces from one sheet of the DSP. Then I tapped my fingers together and said, “Let’s create.”

Here is the sweet card that resulted from the pile of pieces and parts.

CREATING PIECES & PARTS

  • Die-cut lots of floral and leaf images using the Cottage Flower dies on the Abigail Rose DSP as shown above.
  • Layer the ledger and Petal Pink cardstock.
  • Use the Blossoming Happiness spiral edge die to die-cut the top of both Very Vanilla cardstock panels. And the Ledge/Petal Pink layer to it.
  • With a light hand, use the watercolor pencils to add tint to the large flower and leaves. Blend the pencil lines with the Blender Pen. I used Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, and Granny Apple Green watercolor pencils.
  • Stamp the sentiment on the 1″ x 2″ ledger piece.
  • Add Dimensionals to the back of the large flower and the sentiment. TIP: Do not remove the protective backing from the Dimensionals until you are ready to adhere the pieces to the panel.
  • Layer and tuck (yes, that is a thing). I put the big piece down first and then arrange the other pieces. When I get it to my liking, I take a picture. Then it is time to adhere the pieces to the panel.
  • Wrap some Linen Thread around the top of the panel and tape it to the back. Make a double bow with the Linen Thread and attach it with a Glue Dot.
  • Emboss the front of the Kraft Note Card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
  • Add Dimensionals to the back of the panel and add to the embossed notecard.

FINISH WITH A FLARE

  • Add a super cute Brushed Brass Butterfly.
  • Those extra Abigail Rose flower & leaf die-cuts are perfect for embellishing the card insert and the envelope.
