Gorgeous Garden & Petal Patterns Background Dies - Stampin'up

 Hello

To create these designs the Gorgeous Garden 2 die set from Stampin'up  was used for the first 2 cards.


The die cut was backed with a coordinating coloured pearl card and layered on to a matching coloured paper. A coordinating stamped and die cut label was added along with a ribbon bow and gems.
Glossy Accents and Stickles Glitter glue were applied for highlights.


For this design the die cut was backed with a contrasting pearl card. A stamped and die cut sentiment was added. A crochet flower and green paper leaves were attached with a flower brad, and the base of the panel wrapped with organza ribbon. This was then fixed to the base and the ribbon bow added. Gems and Brass butterflies finish off.


Petal Patterns 2 piece die set is used here. The solid background die is cut in plain card and the open petals die in shimmer card of the same colour. These were layered together, and a piece of ribbon knotted through the corner. This was then attached to patterned paper with brads, then to card.
Butterflies were die cut using Butterfly Brilliance dies. A sentiment label was created, outlined with Stardust pen and fixed in place. Gems complete the design.

Have a great day.
