Framed Beautiful Motifs Celebrate Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Beautiful Motifs stamp & die bundle for the focal point, and the gorgeous decorative edge from the Textured Notes dies.

Techniques include coloring edges of leaves with a sponge dauber and masking.  Select dies in the Beautiful Motifs bundle cut the image like the one shown here, without completely cutting the entire outline image.  This makes for a unique look.

The coloring technique was CASEd from a card I saw on Pinterest made by LeeAnn Greff.

=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Place 2nd largest frame die on Soft Sea Foam cardstock with Beautiful Motif die at a slight angle in the middle, die cut both at once.


Insert a piece of scratch paper or sticky note under cut leaves. Put sponge dauber on end of finger, tap onto Shaded Spruce ink pad to ink, then rub gently onto edges of leaves, making sure paper is under leaf so only leaves are inked, not surrounding areas.


Adhere Soft Sea Foam panel to Summer Splash panel, adhere to card front, centering.  

Ink "celebrate" with Strawberry Slush, stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  Using long, thin die, place end of die at right of sentiment, die cut (die will extend beyond cardstock at left).


Insert mini stampin' dimensional under 3 or 4 of the larger leaves to give them a little lift.  Adhere label with mini stampin' dimensionals at left edge of card front, so it sits between two largest leaves on left side of plant.


Color two large and three small Flower Accents with Stampin' Blend.


Embellish with colored flower accents.  


Tie Strawberry Slush Baker's Twine into a bow, adhere at bottom right of label.

Ink "have a" with Garden Green, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, cut down to a 1/2" x 1-3/4" strip, trim right edge at angle, adhere to top left edge of Basic White panel, with left end overhanging 1/4".  Measure down 2" from top of cardstock panel, adhere Garden Green cardstock strip, at left edge, leaving right edge extending beyond panel.  Adhere DSP strip at left edge at upper edge of Garden Green, with a small over lap.  Adhere Secret Sea cardstock strip at bottom edge of Basic White panel, ink "day" with Secret Sea, stamp at right edge of Cloud Cover cardstock strip, adhere 1/8" up from bottom edge of panel, with ends extending evenly on either side.
