Gorgeous Floral Card with Wild Whisper & Xyron

Happy hump day!
All the winter weather has me feeling down. So I decided to give myself a much needed pick me up by making something pretty. Enter Wild Whisper, this week's collaboration with Team Xyron.

For this collaboration, I chose to work with the stunning Forever & Always Paper Pack. The beautiful florals and soft palette drew me in an.

I started by cutting down my burlap patterned paper to create a 5"X 7" card front. Then trimmed the floral paper to 4 3/4"x 6 3/4" to layer on top.

I die cut the remnants of the burlap paper with Eileen Hull's Embroidery Hoop die and also cut another out of chipboard.

I used the inner chipboard ring as a stencil and traced a circle around this sentiment I found on another sheet from the Forever & Always pack. Then cut out the circle with a scissor.

Then I ran the cut-outs through the Creative Station Lite. I positioned my sentiment in the center to minimalize waste. Then layered the burlap die cuts over the chipboard and adhered them together.

After I used a Xyron Mega Runner to adhere my card front layer together, I attached my embroidery hoop to the card front and framed my sentiment.

I used Eileen Hull's Leaves, Spring & Card- Flowers & Leaves dies to cut leaves in multiple shades of green cardstock.

 I also die cut lots of small flowers from this pretty gray and white flower paper (also included in the Forever & Always Paper Pack). Then inked all the centers with Clearsnap's ColorBox Premium Dye Ink in Coral.

When the ink was completely dried, I spritz the flowers with water and used a stylus and foam mat to shape the flowers. I repeated the process with the leaves.

Then I layered the flowers together, attaching them with clear-drying liquid glue. I topped off each flower with a mini pom-pom ball for a center. 

I built a floral arch onto the top of the embroidery hoop by first layering the dark leaves and working my way lighter as I stacked them. Then adhered the flowers in the center of the arch.

And finally attached this stunning piece to a 5"x7" card base.

Look at all the wonder texture and layers!

The pom-pom centers are subtle yet gorgeous!

And here is an up-close look at the finished card...

I hope the card brought a little cheer to your holiday gloom like it did mine! And I hope that this inspires you to create your own cheer too!!

Until next time...

HAPPY CRAFTING!
