Hello

Here’s my card for this week’s Our Craft Lounge supply challenge to use punches or die cuts on your creations. I squeezed in three different die cut shapes on this small square card!

The vase for the flower is made from a die cut oval. I used scissors to cut off the rounded portion of one end of the oval then used a circle punch to make a curve at the other end of the oval. Perfect vase shape! I used a dimensional dot to attach the vase to a die cut white rectangle, then drew in a stem and stamped and colored the small leaf pair from Build-a-Bouquet using Copic markers.

One of the set's solid flower images was stamped on a piece of patterned paper using watermark ink. I covered the ink with clear embossing powder and heat embossed the image before cutting it out and attaching it to the panel with another dimensional dot. I added a pretty pearl to its center for a feminine touch.

I machine stitched a floral patterned paper to the kraft card base before attaching the image panel. The "hello" sentiment (part of a larger one in the Tweet Trees set) is stamped on a small rounded edge label die cut and accented with a light blue faux suede bow.
