Good Sunday afternoon. I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend. One of my favorite color combinations is purple, green and white and I haven’t used it in a while. I decided to pull out my Taylored Expressions Quatrefoil Cutting Plate and pair it with the Impression Obsession Ornate Oval Frame, Foliage and My Favorite Things Leafy Greenery. Take a close look at my purple flowers because they aren’t flowers at all but are just the leftover scrap pieces that are cut out of the Quatrefoil Cutting Plate.
I cut the quatrefoil frame and the rectangle frame and attached them together with double stick tape. I attached thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and larger pieces of tape the center section of the quatrefoil section and attached it to the card base. The larger pieces of mounting tape on the back of the quatrefoil to function as the base for the oval frame. I attached a die cut oval to the back of the ornate frame and attached it to the card base.
I laid the quatrefoil pieces face down on the molding pad and formed/rounded them with the largest stylus in the Garden Tool Kit. I flipped them over and pushed down in the center with the smallest stylus tip. I arranged the foliage and attached with glossy accents. I applied glossy accents to the back of each flower and attached to the foliage and card base. After the flowers were set in place I tucked a few pieces of small foliage around the flower to fill in the arrangement. I finished by attaching small snow pearls to the center of each flower.
Here’s a closer view of the floral arrangement.
Thanks for coming by today.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”
This card is gorgeous! Would you post a link to the rectangle frame that you used? I’m really inspired to make a similar card, but do not have the rectangle frame die that you used. Thank you.
What a gorgeous card! Your cards always have so much detail and are always beautiful.
Hugs, Geri

Precious and full of delight, Kittie!!!! No, I didn’t have a CLUE you had formed the flowers from the little pieces of the background die. Your brain is quite brilliant!! The color combination is truly amazing – love your work! Enjoy your weekend dear one ♥

Gorgeous arrangement and framing!
Utterly gorgeous cards! I am amazed–I do want to know how you send the cards that have bulk flowers or floral embellishments that thick? I want to know so I make and send cards like that!
Hi Karen, I am pasting a link here to my packaging and mailing tutorial that shows a couple different ways to mail your dimensional cards. My favorite way is to use the crystal clear box that I show at the end of the tutorial and placing it in a padded envelope. I hope this helps.
