Tuesday Tutorial - Fleur de Elegance with Diamond Essence

Hi Everybody,

Todays card uses several sets of dies that will all play well together and all are still available to purchase. To make this card a little different I have offset the main focal point and add in my floral display along the other side.

The sunny yellow color is there to remind us that spring is on the way and we can look forward to warmer days and being outside more.

 Spellbinders Supplies:

• S4-475 Fleur de Elegance
• S4-491 Diamond Essence
• S6-001 5x7 Matting Basics A
• S6-002 5x7 Matting Basics B 
• El-009 Flora

• PL-001 Platinum Die Cutting Machine

Other Supplies:

• Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
• Glitter from Glitter Magic
• White Yellow card from Papermill Direct
• Ribbon from Mei Flower
• Pearls from Want2Scrap
• Yellow craft foam
• Lace from my "Stash"

Instructions:

Using die #7 from Matting Baiscs A cut two panels and  create a hinged card  and lay to one side

Using die 7 from Matting Basics B cut another panel in yellow

With die #6 from Matting Basics A cut another white panel and emboss using one side of the folder.

(Please member that die #1 is always the smallest)

Glue the white embossed panel flat onto the yellow one

With die  #3 from Fleur de Elegance cut one panel in yellow

With die #2 cut one panel in white 

Add foam tape to the back of each of these shapes

Place the yellow panel onto the embossed layer from the previous step

Offset them over to the left and then trim the left edge flush with the side of the card

Wrap the ribbon and lace around these layers

With die #4 from Diamond Essence cut one panel in white and emboss it with the other pattern in the folder and add foam tape to the back

Layer this onto the shapes and lace from the previous step

Cut the chosen words from yellow craft foam

Leave the top white shape in tact and add the words to the top of it

Dress the card with beautiful flowers and sprinkle them with glitter

Add little yellow pearls along the top and bottom right hand edges.

The foam tape raises the layers to add interest to the card

Pretty Card for any occasion

More tomorrow ...
