Instructions
Start by adhering your embossed Basic White layer to the front of your Golden Glow card base. The Eyelet embossing adds such a soft, elegant texture that really sets the tone for the whole card.
Next, layer each piece of Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper onto the gold foil squares. Once assembled, arrange and adhere the three squares onto the card front.
Using a blending brush, softly sponge Golden Glow ink onto your die-cut flowers. This adds dimension and warmth without overpowering the delicate look.
Adhere the flowers to the front of the card. Add the In-Color dots to the centers of the two smaller flowers, and tuck the gold foil leaves underneath for a beautiful layered effect.
Finishing Touches
For the inside, lightly sponge Golden Glow ink in the center of your Basic White panel. Stamp your Happy Birthday sentiment in full-strength Golden Glow ink. Add the floral outline image in full strength, then stamp the inner floral detail using stamped-off ink for a softer look.
Don’t forget your envelope! Lightly sponge it to coordinate and add a couple of stamped flowers for that extra special touch.
This card is perfect for when you want something elegant but still quick to put together. The gold accents combined with the soft florals make it truly stand out.
