Kylie's International Blog Highlights - Feb. 2022

 

It's time for the next challenge in Kylie's International Blog Highlights where the theme is "Thank You", and projects voted in the top 10 go on to participate in Kylie's Winners Highlights Hop later in the month.

Today I am sharing with you a card that I designed using the Artfully Layered bundle. I was feeling particularly "springy" when I made this card. It is the dead of winter here in Ottawa, Canada and is FREEZING COLD!!  So I wanted to give myself a little boost and create a card that made me feel like I was on vacation - somewhere hot and sunny!

What better colors than Coastal Cabana and Polished Pink!  

1. I started with a base in Polished Pink cut at 8.5" x 5.5", folded in half and then layered a piece of white cardstock that I had embossed with the Painted Textured 3D embossing folder.
2. I die cut one piece using Coastal Cabana cardstock (fern) and another from Polished Pink (leaf). I then stamped the leaf image in Coastal Cabana ink and die cut it with the leaf die from the Tropical Layers dies.
3. I created a double bow using Polished Pink Open Weave ribbon and adhered it in the middle of the die cut pieces with a glue dot. 
4. The greeting was stamp in white craft ink on black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then fussy cut the sentiment and adhered it with black mini dimensionals.
5. I die cut 2 Polished Pink flowers (In the Tropics dies) and adhered them to the "fern" die cut piece. 
6. I then added 3 Loose Flower Flourishes - 2 over top of the die cut flowers from step 5.
7. The final touch was to color 3 pearls with a Light Bermuda Bay Blends marker (because we don't have Coastal Cabana in Stampin Blends - but amazingly the match is perfect!).
