Story of Elegance

Hello and Happy Wednesday.

I hope that you had a wonderful day and even if you didn’t I hope that you have been able to find something to be grateful for.

Today, I’m sharing a card that I made using new products from Lisa Horton Crafts.  I typically use the stencils and embossing folder when they are available, but for this card uses only the stencils.

The primary product is the new Meadow of Sweet Peas Layering Stencils and I’ve paired it with other LHC products that I have in my stash.

Here’s the card I made:

 

Elegance Made Easy

Here are the directions to create this A2 sized card.

Cut a piece of patterned card stock to 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and add to the front of an A2 card base made with white card stock.

Use the dies from the Nested Scalloped/Plain Stitched Squares die set to cut one scalloped square in a coordinating color card stock.  All the patterned and color card stock I used for this project are from the Splash of Color Premium Cardstock by Lisa Horton Crafts.

Add a thin strip of foil card stock to the edge of the patterned cardstock on the card front, then add the die cut to the card front.

Use the Meadow of Sweet Peas Layering Stencils to stencil the image onto white cardstock.  Die cut the stenciled image and add to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment in a coordinating color, die cut it and add to the card front.

Color two scrap pieces of white cardstock in coordinating colors and die cut two flowers using the smallest flower in the  Fantasy Bloom Layering Dies and assemble to be a butterfly.

Add the butterfly to the corner of the sentiment using a foam square.

Finish by adding coordinating gems.

Thanks again for stopping by.

I will back again next Wednesday with another card to share.
