Angie Blom Digital Designs | Bloom Grow Blossom | 3D Slimline Card

 

Hello everyone.  I hope y'all are doing well and have recovered from the holiday.  Today I am sharing a slimline card I made using Bloom Grow Blossom from Angie Blom Digital Designs.  What's great about Angie's kits is, that you not only get the individual images, but you also get a sheet or two with the images already put together like a card.  All you need to do is print that page, color it, and send it.  

To make this card:

• I made a top-folding slimline card using white cardstock - 3.5" x 8.5".
• I adhered a piece of decorative paper from my stash to the front of the card.
• I printed the slimline design that is part of the set, colored it using Tombow markers, layered it on a piece of black cardstock, then a piece of fun foam, and then to the card front.   The markers I used were 173/Willow Green, 761/Carnation, and 055/Process Yellow.

I liked it.  It was OK.  But it wasn't what was in my head.  It's too boring, too flat.    

• So I printed the image again, fussy cut the flowers with my small Martha Stewart Fine Tip scissor, and colored them using more Tombow markers.  This time I used 055/Process Yellow, which I blended with 946/Gold Ochre, and 761/Carnation, which I blended with 703 Pink Rose.

• I turned the fussy-cut flowers over, adhered some foam squares to the back, and then adhered them to the card front.  

Now I like it a lot.  I love the dimension.  All that's left is the center of the flowers.  

• I put the card in a box lid to catch the beads, added some glossy accents to the center of the pink flowers, and sprinkled on tiny yellow beads.  Then I set it aside to firm up.  Once they were firm, I put glossy accents on the yellow flowers and sprinkled tiny pink beads on top.  And set that aside to fully dry.    

The card is done.  I love it.  Here are photos of the finished card and a close-up of the beads in the center of the flowers.
