Hello there crafty friends! I hope you had a fabulous Easter! I just had to make one more Spring/Easter type of arrangement. My second most favorite part of Easter are the floral arrangements inside the churches and family gatherings. You might ask what my favorite part is? That fact Jesus died on the cross for you and for me so that our sins would be forgiven. After such a powerful weekend, I feel so loved, and hope you know how much you are loved.
My card today features Joy Clair Designs digital image called Spring Floral Basket and I used to represent a window flower decoration. I love this stamp set because it comes with 8 images and 6 sentiments which in my humble opinion is a great value. Let’s take a look and then I’ll get into how I created it.
I started out by printing the Spring Floral Basket image and sentiment on to smooth card stock. I sized the image so that it would perfectly fit the window. Digital stamps are awesome because you make them to fit any project! I colored the stamp with Copics and then fussy cut it out with my cut n scan.
My next step in making this card was to use a frame die cut and add acetate to the back to create a window pane. Because I didn’t have a window die, I made my own by trimming 1/4 inch strips and centering them both horizontally and vertically.
You’ll notice that I used a full size panel for the background with stenciled clouds to create more interest. I adhered the 4.25 x 5.5 inch panel onto an A2 card base. Finally I popped the window panel up on foam tape. This would have been a great shaker, but I opted not to because the Spring Floral Basket takes up most of the pane. I love dimension on my cards, so I also popped up the floral image, but before doing that I added some shading onto the frame with a cool grey Copic where the basket would leave a shadow. I added the sentiment and a simple twine bow to add character. My very last step was to add Farmhouse Enamel Dots for the final embellishment.
Okay I think that pretty much sums up this beautiful, but easy to create cards. I hope this inspires you to take a look at the Joy Clair Designs Shop today!
