Hello crafty friends,
My name is Melinda and I am so thrilled to be a part of the Dies R Us 2018 design team! I hope you will be inspired by my creations! Here is my first project share as a DRU Girl!
I created this sweet, spring-themed card using some fun dies and papers from the Dies R Us shop. I started with a cream cardstock base. The size is a standard A2 size. I then cut a piece of green cardstock for a mat. The wonderful patterned paper is from the Doodlebug paper pad.
For these pretty flowers, I used the Cheery Lynn Build A Flower 1 Die Set. These dies are actually used for the centers of the flowers but I thought by stacking them and rotating them, and adding enough, they would look a little loosely like dandelions. I cut everything out of white cardstock and then inked the leaves and the very center pieces. I used some of the Colorbox Cat's Eye Pigment Inks you can find in the DRU Shop.
Here's a look at how they look individually. I then staggered and layered four of them together. I, however, decided that four wasn't quite enough so I decided to stack to sets of four together to create each flower.
After creating the flowers and adding the oval mat layers, I decided to run a piece of ribbon down the border and add this pretty little yellow bow.
I finished off my card by adding a little sentiment I created. I cut it out in a tag shape and added a little foam tape to it.
Here's an angled view to show you the depth of the layers I achieved by using some foam tape between them.
Here is one last look at the finished card. I hope you are inspired to create a few little "dandelions" of your own.
