Just For You Carnation Card

Today I am sharing with you my Just for You Carnation Card featuring Heartfelt Creations Camelia Carnation Collection.

I found it is best to assemble the carnations with a hot glue gun.  This really helps keep the petals in a tight form and helps the carnation keep its shape.

For more ideas and inspiration, please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog.  Have a great day!

Instructions:  Create an A2 sized side folding card out of white cardstock.  Cut an A2 card front from the Camelia Carnation Paper Collection and die cut the center image using the coordinating die from the Cut Mat Create 1A Die.  Sponge edge of A2 Carnation card front with Morocco Memento Ink and adhere directly to the white card base with Dries Clear Adhesive.  Adhere the center die cut image to the card front with pop dots.  On White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink stamp the Just for You image from the Banners of Love Stamp Set, stamp the carnation floral image from the Fanciful Carnation Stamp Set and stamp several extra small, small and medium carnation petals from the Small Camelia Carnation Stamp Set and die cut all with coordinating dies.  On the Just for You sentiment, cut off the small flowers on the end of the banner and save to use on another card. Using Stack and Store Daubers and the Dove Blender Pen, as needed for fine detail, color the Just for You sentiment banner using Butter Chalk Ink, color all the leaves using New Sprout and Cottage Ivy Memento Inks, color the orange carnations and petals using Pink Grapefruit VersaMark Chalk Ink and add Morocco Memento Ink to the tips and color the white carnations and petals by leaving them plain and add New Sprout Memento Ink to the tips.  Using the Dove Blender color the small flowers on the banner image using Pearlescent Coral Brilliance Ink on the petals and add Mango Chalk Ink to the centers of the small florals.  Use the Floral Basics Shaping Floral Mold on the carnation petals and then after using the mold also add additional shaping by using your thumb and forefingers to create additional pleats in the petals.  Assemble petals by using the hot glue gun.  Cut carnation floral image as needed and adhere to card front as shown.  With Dries Clear Adhesive add Key Lime Glitter to the greenery and add Crystal Glitter to all the white carnations, Just for You banner, small flowers and baby's breath on design paper, as desired.. Add Yellow Stickles to the yellow centers on the small florals on die cut banner image.  Finish by adhere Orange Rhinestone to upper right hand corner as shown.
