Hi everyone! I have a card with pretty posies to share to day.
Here are the Classy Cards products I used.
I first embossed the lower 1/3 of 4 x 5.25 inch piece of white card
stock and then placed ribbon over the divide between plain and embossed. I attached the embossed piece to green cardstock and trimmed the border.
On the back of the green/white piece, I attached flat pieces of paper egg carton to create a 3-D look. I recycle my egg cartons instead of using foam pads when I can. Next, I cut two floral stems, one from white and one from green. Using Twinkling H20s, I painted the flowers on both stems. You will notice the paint on the green is several shades darker than that on the white. I cut the flowers away from the white stem. I matched the white painted flowers to the green flowers that were still attached to the stems. I offset the loose flowers ever so slightly. You want a narrow shadow to show underneath the white painted flowers.

I used a white glue and a toothpick to carefully place glue on the back
of the stem die to attach it to the card front. The Bow Easy made a perfect bow to place on the stem as shown on the picture. Then I die cut the Cheery Lynn Designs Small Exotic Butterfly with a metallic paper and an Angle Wings liner for the butterfly.
detailed, beautiful die cuts!
