Translucent Florals Friend Card & Free PDF Tutorial

 Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #714.

For my "Sweet Friend" card, I used the Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Bundle (Not available for several months), By My Side Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes & Gorgeous Garden Dies, along with Stargazing DSP.

Since the Translucent Florals Bundle will not be available for some time, you can still create this card using any stamps that you have.

I began with my card base using Basic White cardstock.

The background was created using Stargazing DSP with the Gorgeous Garden Dies for the upper portion and another strip of the coordinating DSP for the bottom portion.

The die cut background was adhered using Mini Glue Dots, leaving lots of the leaves free to create a bit of dimension.

The square was die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies and turned to create a diamond shape.

I stamped the twigs image on the background using Night of Navy ink.  The flowers and leaves were die cut using Night of Navy, Berry Burst & Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.

2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine was looped several times and tucked behind the flowers.

The sentiment was also stamped using Night of Navy ink and die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies, tucking the left side under the larger flowers.

The diamond shape was adhered with dimensionals.

Embellishments used to finish off my card were Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio.

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is a layer of DSP followed by Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the twigs using Night of Navy ink and die cut an additional flower using Berry Burst cardstock, layering two of them and adhering with adhesive.  A single sequin was added in the center.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
