Instructions for Pansy Mother’s Day Card

Here is my Mother’s Day card for the Canada Inks Up Blog Hop and the card instructions

Stamps: Pansy Petals, Timeless Tulips

Dies: Pansy Die, Scalloped Contour Dies

Inks: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, So Saffron, Bumblebee, Evening Evergreen, Garden Green, Smokey Slate and Memento Black.

Paper Products: Highland Heather, Basic White card stock.

Other Products: Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder, Gold 1/4″ Ribbon, Bumblebee Trinkets, Metallic Pearls, Wink of Stella, glue dots, dimensionals.

Instructions to make the Card

  1. Card base is Highland Heather 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/4, using a landscape fold.
  2. Basic White card stock cut at 4 x 5-1/4 and embossed with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder. Lightly sponge some of the bricks with a sponge dauber using Smokey Slate Ink. Attach this layer to the card base with Stampin Seal.
  3. To stamp the large pansy, I stamped the large detailed pansy first using Gorgeous Grape (I found it easier to see the different layers doing the detailed stamp first) then stamped the background stamp in Highland Heather. The face of the pansy I stamped in So Saffron then the next layer in Memento Black and the center is stamped in Bumblebee.
  4. To stamp the small pansy I stamped the detailed layer first in Gorgeous Grape and the background in Highland Heather. The face of the pansy is in Gorgeous Grape and center is Bumblebee.
  5. The leaves I also found it easier to stamp the darker layer first using Evening Evergreen and then the background in Garden Green.
  6. Die cut the pansies and leaves out using the Pansy Dies.
  7. I assembled the pansies and leaves to the card using dimensionals.
  8. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulip stamp set stamped in Gorgeous Grape and then die cut using the new Scalloped Contours Dies. I also die cut out a Highland Heather layer using the same die and then glued them together and attached to the card using Stampin Seal.
  9. Fold and tuck a small piece of the Gold 1/4″ ribbon under the pansy cluster using glue dots.
  10. For a little bling I used the Metallic Gold Pearls and the cute Bumblebee Trinket attaching it with glue dots.
  11. I brushed a little Wink of Stella on the pansy faces.
