IM26 – Rooted in Nature

June 25, 2018 By Connie | 2 Comments

It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary’s Inspiration Monday!!!  I love this lacy looking flower and I knew immediately what I wanted to do!

 

 

I used the large and small leaves from Rooted in Nature Bundle to create my large yellow flower!  And paired it with the polka dot pattern in the Brights Designer Paper Package…I love that we have the DSP in all colors again AND that they feature polka dots and stripes…my favorites!

This is a Z-fold card, so here is what it looks like open.

Stampin' Up! Rooted in Nature z-fold card

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Whisper White, scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2.  It is folded in half and the front panel is folded back on itself.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Daffodil Delight Brights Designer Paper was added to the inside panel.
  • To create the flower, I started by stamping 7 of the large leaves with Crushed Curry Ink on Whisper White.  Next is 6 of the smaller leaf stamped with Crushed Curry Ink on Daffodil Delight cardstock.  They were cut out with the framelit.
  • I punched a 2″ circle and covered it with Snail adhesive, then began with the larger leaves and formed the background flower.
  • On the smaller leaves I placed the adhesive on the back and layered over the large ones.  I curled all the petals slightly for a natural look.
  • In the center is a large Gold Faceted Gem.
  • The flower was added to the front panel, hanging over the edge.
  • For the actual “leaves” of the flower, I stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink on Granny Apple Green cardstock, then cut out with the framelit and tucked them under the flower on the front panel.
  • Finally, the greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White and hand cut and adhered on the DSP.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
