I'm on the @alexsyberiadesigns blog today with a floral card featuring the Andalusia wildflowers and the Alhambra arabesque cover die. Products: Andalusia wildflowers, Alhambra arabesque cover die, Avian allure stamp set, Birthday bouquet stamp set and Birthday bouquet stencil (Alex Syberia Designs) Distress oxides: Twisted citron, Mowed lawn, Rustic wilderness, Squeezed lemonade, Wild honey, Dried marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Worn lipstick, Tattered rose, Festive berries, Milled lavender and Wilted violet To create this card, I started by cutting two panels slightly greater than the Alhambra arabesque cover die. I stamped the Birthday bouquet with black ink on both. For one of them, you need to use a hybrid ink as it will be watercolored. For one of the panels, I used the coordinating stencil to color the bouquet:  Stencil 1 - Middle pattern: Squeezed lemonade and Wild honey for the top and bottom flowers, Dried marigold and Ripe persimmon for the roses Stencil 1 - Side patterns: Tw

I am on a schedule or race, I should say, to finish all the Summer cards I wanted to achieve during my break and this card was NOT one of them. The idea came to me in the most obvious way and I couldn't park it until next year. On the same day of last week, I was working with some picnic stamp set with ants, then I saw a post from my friend Lounon @craft.me.craft.moi and it was a picnic basket, and later on, I received a @teamspellinders package and it had the Floral bunny basket in it. I didn't need any more signs, it was obious this card had to be! Thanks Lounon for the inspiration! I love how the card turned out. Lots of die cutting involved but it all came out nicely, and for a change, I chose to color the die cuts with Copic markers. Hope you like it.

I then die cut the sentiment opening using the outline word of the sentiment from the same die set. I saved the little die cut separating the words Have and good to adhere later. I then die cut the sentiment itself from white cardstock. On the second rectangle panel, I blended Distress oxide Kitsch flamingo and adhered the white sentiment on top, through the first panel opening, to center the sentiment.   I then adhered a piece of acetate at the back of the front panel and glued the small die cut separating the words Have and good at
