Story of Elegance

Happy Friday!

I’m so happy for the weekend.  Not because of work but because I have received my new Lisa Horton products and I only have one event this weekend so I should have time to play in my craftroom with my goodies.  Woohoo!

Of course I had to get an early start and try a couple of the products from the Spotlight Frames and Florals Collection by Lisa Horton for Spellbinders.

I used one of the Spotlight Circle Duo press plates and Layering Anemones floral dies to create today’s card.

Here’s the card I created:

I really like the versatility of press plates, as you can foil with them or use a letterpress.  Options are always wonderful.  It’s two for one.  That’s always a good deal.

Elegance Made Easy

Here are the directions to create this A2 sized card.

Cut a panel of white card stock to  4 ” x 5 1/4″.

Use one of the Spotlight Circle press plates to foil onto the white card stock panel just below center.   Foil a sentiment of your choice beneath the foiled circle.  (I used Blush Foil by Spellbinders.) Add the foiled panel to a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ black card stock panel and add the combined panel to the front of an A2 card base.

Use the Lisa Horton Crafts solid foil plate to foil a small area onto a scrap piece of white card stock.  The scrap needs to be big enough to cut 5 of the flower center die from the Layered Anemone die set.

Die cut 5 flower centers from the foiled scrap and 5 small  flowers (both pieces) from a scrap of white card stock.

Use glue to assemble the flower petals and centers and add the flowers to the card front.  I used foam squares to mount 3 of the flowers and placed the two between them using glue.

And you’re done!  How easy is that?!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope that you have a fantastic week!

I’ll be back on Tuesday with another card to share.  Please stop by and check it out.

Until next time,

Live Graciously!
