A Variation on Take Three Thursday

I’ve gotten way behind in posting some of the cards I’ve made recently, so I thought I’d do a variation on Mary-Lou’s Take Three Thursday and share three thank you cards. All three cards feature florals and die cuts.

Here I started with the beautiful Shape Shifters: Circle 1 die from Papertrey, using just two of the three pieces to use as a focal point for the leaves from Reverse Confetti’s Tall Blooms which I colored with Copic markers to match the Hawaiian Shores card base.

The sentiment is from Papertrey’s Gathered Garden set. I tied the the three leafy sprigs together with a piece of my favorite white silk ribbon and added a few sequins.

For this card I started by die cutting a piece of white card stock with the Stitched Rays die by Reverse Confetti. Then I die cut one of the Pierced Round Top dies (also Reverse Confetti) so the stitched rays radiated from the left-hand side.  A die cut vase from Papertrey’s Vogue Vases and more florals from Reverse Confetti’s Tall Blooms were added. All were adhered to a striped piece of paper from my stash of single papers and then to a Licorice card by Memory Box. 

There wasn’t an easy way to add a stamped sentiment so I die cut one from the Swooshes set by Papertrey.

For the final card, I scored an Amethyst Allure card at every 1/2 inch and added two die cuts by Papertrey Ink: “thank you”, and the February Corner Adorner stamp and die.

I used some foam dots to the Corner Adorner to add a bit more dimension.

Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. Here’s hoping it’s a good one for you!
