Layers of Spring with Wanda

Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog! I feel that Spring is in the air! At my house in Northern California, we have daffodils blooming and the trees are so full of beautiful blossoms. Renewal is coming…. So I am excited to make some Spring cards full of pretty colors and floral themes. For my project for today I made a purple, flowery, vintage-y, texture filled card! More is more! 

My finished card is an A2 cream card base, layered with purple gingham. For my background layer, I thought it would be fun to see if that gorgeous Rosemal Reflections Embossing Folder would work with the A2 Arches. Well, guess what? They go together perfectly! I die cut the A2 arch and then embossed it.

I gently inked over the embossed portions to give more detail.Next I die cut out all the pieces of the Rosemal Reflections Jumbo dies – floral spray. I inked all the pieces with matching Distress Inks and then splattered on gold paint. I die cut the Scripty Hello dies form both purple cardstock and vellum and layered them together. For the secondary smaller sentiment, I stamped the sentiment from the Tear Strip Tags Spring set in purple ink onto cream paper. I also stamped and die cut out some postage stamps from the Postal Modern Set. For my finishing touches I added a pretty gold glitter bow, and some purple pearl embellishments. I attached everything to the card using foam squares and added a Regency Bow No 1 die at the top. It all came together in a vintage way! 

That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have a fantastic and creative day! Wishing you all the best. It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. I can’t wait to see the next release from Betsy! Blessings to you and your families. I will see you soon… In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
