Can you smell spring in the air? Flowers might be poking their heads of out the soil as even in the Midwest we have had some really warm weather. Lilies of the Valley are early flowers that love the shade.
I love the small details and flowers on this embossing folder. It makes a terrific background on any card or on its own. (For details on the gallery of three cards, see the next post.)
A tip I did employ was to mist the back of the cardstock at least. You might want to mist both sides, especially if it is a heavy cardstock.
For the Lily of the Valley card I layered the two pieces of embossed paper. Following the tutorial from Susan Tierney-Cockburn, I made the beautiful flowers. (video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYCE72Rmxrk&t=8s ) They are a little tricky but so well worth it in the end. I found her tip of misting the white flowers before forming them was immensely helpful.
Once the flowers were done, the rest of card came together quickly. The sentiment is from the February Glimmer Club of the Month.
The Wax Seal of the Month was my inspiration for the card itself. It, too, is the Lily of the Valley. Just melt the wax with the kit and pour the Fern wax onto the silicone mat – more in an oval that circle this time. Set the seal int the wax and let it cool. It only takes a few minutes. I used two markers to color the flower – green acrylic and white. (P.S. the Wax seal of the month has sold out except for the Deluxe Caboodle Club)
This is a special card! Lilies of the Valley are one of my husband’s favorite flowers — and it was in his boutonniere for our wedding. This will be his Valentine card because he always brightens my day.
