Paper Florist Thanks for Kylie's International Blog Highlights - July 2023

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is my card to entry to Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights for July 2023 - the theme is Thank you. I love creating fun-fold cards and this one is simple to create, with an added bonus that there are three display areas.

The card base is made from the new soft, subtle baby pink Bubble Bath card and is topped with layers of Basic Grey card. I've used two embossing folders to add texture to these layers; the front and back layers are embossed with the Exposed Brick folder and for the middle layer I used the cross-hatch pattern from the Online Exclusives Basics set.

I have a large pile of die cut elements ready to make flowers. They are mainly cut using the Paper Florist dies, but there are a few from the Dainty Delight and Cheerful Daisies sets too.

I selected Bubble Bath elements to make the flowers, some of which are inked with matching ink applied with a blending brush to add some depth of colour, and added Granny Apple Green, Soft Sea Foam and Basic White extras for the foliage. The thanks from the Biggest Wish set is white heat embossed on a strip of Vellum and wrapped around the Basic Gray layer to secure it. A trio of Iridescent Pearls finishes off the decoration.

To create a space to write a message I added a Basic White layer on the reverse of the centre panel.

As mentioned at the beginning I am entering Kylie's International Project Highlights and you can follow the link to the gallery where you will find heaps more inspiration AND you can vote for your favourite five projects.
