Daffodil

 Hello,

Kim here today sharing with you how I made this card. Now I know Sympathy cards can be difficult to make but I feel this one is quite elegant. 

I am using the Daffodil die set that comes with this sentiment, from Pixi Dust Designs. I am also using the Stitched Rectangle Slim line. 

​

​

​

I started off with by die cutting all my pieces. On my original card, I colored the stems but I decided to cut them from green paper this time. So I cut  two stems in green, the middle pieces to the flower both twice in green and the sentiment in green. The flower heads I cut in white, two pieces each. For the rectangles I used the three largest. The biggest is the same color as my card base, the next one in green then the next one again the same as the card base. 

​

​​I then added a bit of color to the flower heads using my copics. I used Y15 and Y11 to add just a hint of yellow.

​​After some coloring and blending I added the center pieces one on top of the other with a bit of glue. On top of those I added the next piece using a bit of foam tape to give it a more 3D look. Lastly I glued the third piece on top 

​

​

For the stems I took the long stem and slid it between layers and added a bit of glue then applied the top piece to the flower stem.​

Now to assemble the card! The easy fun part. I got my card base and glued the first layer of the stitched slimline rectangle to it. The next layer, (the green one) I applied foam tape to pop it up a bit and the same with the third and final layer. ​

Time to add the flowers and sentiment. I struggled really with which way to assemble. As you can see they fit either way but for some reason my eye wanted the horizontal version. 

​

With that being said, I glued it all down and added just a touch of sequence to fill in some of the blank space. ​

​

So there you have it, easy peasy! What do you think?

​​Have a crafty day!
