March Crafty Collaborations – Color Challenge – Pansy Patch – Thank You card

I created this card for the March Crafty Collaborations Color Challenge. For is card we are to make a card using the colors selected. I decide to use one of my favorite stamp set and dies, the Pansy Patch and Pansy dies. Here are the colors in the challenge.

This is my card and I managed to use all the colors in the challenge.

Cutting and instructions to create this card:

1. Card base is Basic White card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. Cut a piece of the Distress Gold Specialty Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″. To save some of the Gold Specialty Paper, cut the center out leaving a 1/2″ border all around
3. Attach the gold frame to the card base with liquid glue
4. Cut a piece of the Basic White Card stock 3 3/4″ x 5″
5. Emboss the Basic White card stock layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and attach it to the card base with liquid glue
6. On a piece of Basic White card stock, die cut the pansy petals for 3 pansies and 2 buds and die cut the leaves in Garden Green card stock and also die cut 3 faces for the pansies in Basic Black card stock
7. Using a sponge dauber, sponge the edges of each of the pansy petals and then lightly sponge in the center of each petal as well.
8. Lightly curl each of the petals, giving them some dimension
9. Assemble the flowers together with dimensionals and glue dots
10. Add the faces to the pansies with liquid glue
11. Add a Wild Wheat dot from the 2023 – 2024 In Color Dots to the face of the pansies
12. Sponge the buds and curl them and place a dimensional in between the petals also adding dimensional
13. Glue the bud stems to the bud petals with liquid glue
14. Arrange the pansies on the card and when you have decided on their placement, add them to the card with dimensionals, tucking the leaves under the pansies with a dimensional
15. On a scrap of Basic White card stock, stamp a sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Versa Mark and heat emboss in Gold embossing powder
16. Attach the sentiment to the card with dimensionals

Here is a video for another card using this sponging technique for the pansies.
