Card: Humming Along Feel Better Soon

I have not worked in the garden at all this year because my allergies have been very bad. Our neighbors’ garden look very nice so I decided to cheat a little until my allergies get better. I stuck some silk flowers in my flower pot and my yard to add some color. I know Mums are not summer flowers, but a little colors do make my flower bed look better. I think the flowers looks so real and even the butterflies flies around them.

The “fake” hibiscus flower pot reminds me of the “Humming Along” stamp set, so I decided to make a card with the Hibiscus flower.

Here are the measurements for the paper

Pineapple Punch:
- 8 1/2 x 5 1/2″ (cut 8 1/2 x 11 paper half in the long way)
Whisper White:
- 3 1/2 x 4 1/2
- Scrap for the flower and tag (I used 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ paper for both)
Basic Black:
- 3 1/2 x 1 3/4 (for the tag)
- (2) 3 1/2 x 1/8

Here is how:

Fold the Pineapple Punch Card Stock in half as card base.
Stamp the ” Hibiscus flower” and “sentiment” on Whisper White card stock.
Use the Hummingbird Framelits dies to cut out the Hibiscus flower and tag.
There is a very cool die in this set. The die cuts out a pattern that looks like net. I used this die to cut the 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 Whisper White card stock to create the background.

Glued the Whisper White paper to the Pineapple Punch card base.
Glued the two Basic Black strips on top and bottom of the Whisper White paper.
Used Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to color the Hibiscus flower.
Used the Hummingbird Framelits dies to cut another tag in Basic Black color.
Cut the Basic Black tag in half horizontally and layered under the Whisper White tag.

Use the Stampin’ Demontionals to attach the Hibiscus flower and tag to the card.
Used Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush to color over the flower to add some “bling” to the card.
