Good morning! Today I've got a fun card to share using a bit of a different technique I wanted to test out. I'm using a few different die sets and other supplies from Simon Says Stamp - and I really love how it turned out! I wish the photos showed the details better, but I also have a reel posted on my Instagram today that might share it a bit better!
I had seen a reel recently that used Modge Podge and dried flowers on plastic circles to make suncatchers, and wanted to recreate the idea in card form. I used die cut flowers from pattern paper, acetate, collage medium, and a brush - and it worked! I added a layer of the collage medium on the acetate, then added the flowers (die cut from Wildflower Bucket and Country Basket Bouquet die sets), added a bit of collage medium over each one as I added them, and tucked the leaves around as well. It took a while for it to dry, but I love the effect! The texture on the acetate reminds me of stained glass! I used pattern paper with Basic Circles die to frame the panel, then backed it with more acetate, filling it with sparkly Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Stars for a simple shaker card, and backed it with a panel of white cardstock. To make the inside polished, I die cut a circle that was slightly larger, and aligned my see through shaker panel over the top - this way when it opens, it looks pretty! Finally, added some Clear Dazzling gems in the flower centers, a sentiment from Good Greetings 1, and tied some Lawn Fawn white twine around the front in a loopy bow!
