Created: July 17, 2017
Modified:

I just acquired some "Foamiran" which is a stretchy foam material. Needless to say when I came across it I was intrigued... so had to buy some to try it out. It's fun to use. Check out Scrap Art By Ladye for lots of info on the product and some videos.

I'm using an A Way With Words die from Elizabeth Craft Designs "Because", also available on Quietfire Design HERE

And using parts of a bunch of quote/sentiment stamps from Quietfire Design.

("JOY Fill er Up"); ("Mum Fill er Up" 2pce set); ("Happy Birthday Plain and Simple" 7pce set); ("You Are..." 5pce set); ("Those We Love are the Snowflakes..." 2pce set) 

 

 

Scored and folded my mid tone lavender  Bazzill Monochromatic cardstock to create the side easel, cutting another piece the same size as card for the front.

I started with 12 x 12" cardstock. Cut the cardstock to 5" x 12". Scored vertically at the 7" point leaving a 5" end piece which I scored diagonally to create the fold for the side easel. see diagram above.

Created the flowers by die cutting several 6 petal flowers using Tim's Bigz "Tattered Flowers" die from an ivory piece of Foamiran. Inked some Distress "Carved Pumpkin" on the tips and some streaks in the petals. Not very visible... Heated and tooled as per the video and assembled. Added various stamen and then added dots with some Tombow markers. Hand cut the sepal from an olive green Foamiran, tooled and adhered under flower.

Stamped the doily (Stampin Up "Hello Doily") onto a light lavender cardstock using Distress Picket Fence and embossing with white embossing powder. Adhered to front of card.

Adhered the 2 types of lace to the right hand side. 

Die cut a bunch of leafy branches from green previous decorated cardstock using Tim's Bigz "Garden Greens' die and CC Designs "Leafy Branch". Adhered to front and then adhered my Foamiran flower.

Raided my stash for the gold metallic "Because" die cut. Adhered to front.

On the floor: Stamped the "fill er Up" letters to spell "YOU" using Versafine Black Onyx and embossed on the light lavender cardstock using "Purple Pearl Lustre" embossing powder. Used a clear embossing pen from Ranger to fill the letters and then embossed with Queen's Gold embossing powder.

Stamped the sentiments below the "YOU" using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die cut to fit the area using Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Rectangles" die set. Adhered to floor with 3D foam tape. Then adhered the pearl lace trim.

Final touch, punched out a couple dragonflies using an EK Success Whale of a Punch from some scraps. Applied Quickie glue to the wings and sprinkled with Stickles "Star Dust" dry glitter. Colored the body with a black Zig Writer.  Adhered to front and floor.
