Just Add Ink #456 ... 'Inspiration'

Hi everyone, sharing my card I made for this week's challenge at Just Add Ink.  It is an 'Inspiration' challenge this week using this picture as our guide.  

I elected to go with white flowers and gold accents.  I am not sure if it is gold or yellow in the picture, I decided gold went with the theme of my card.

There are lots of layers and texture (Shelli would be proud) on my card which I thought it needed as it is only White and Gold.

The background Whisper White piece was embossed using the Quilt Top Embossing Folder before it was adhered to the card front using dimensionals.  The next layer is a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies (4th die from the largest die). I Gold heat embossed the sentiment 'Congratulations' from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set on this stitched rectangle before adhering to the card front using dimensionals.

The floral arrangment was made by White heat embossing the flowers from the Pop of Petal stamp set and punching out using the Four-Petal Flower Punch.  I turned the flowers over and on the backside of the flowers I rolled the large stylus from the Take Your Pick tool over the petals to give them some dimension.  I then turn the flowers back over and on the front side gently eased the flower petals up from the centre before adhering a small Gold Faceted Gem in the centre.

The foliage and leaves were cut from Whisper White cardstock using the Foliage Frame Dies.  I arranged the leaves and flowers how I liked before adhering in place.

TIP: Adhere the flowers in place using Glue Dots or Tear and Tape.  If you use liquid glue the flowers will warp, and when I used Snail they popped off the card front, they just did not want to stay in put.

Thank you for visiting.
