In Colour Pansy Thank You Cards

 Hi Everybody, 


Today I have been making Customer Thank You cards showcasing the lovely new  In Colours and the Pansy Dies. The only stamping is the sentiment, everything else is die cut as I wanted to play with all the dies and I've teamed them with my favourite Stitched So Sweetly dies too. Let me show you how I made them.

Materials

(for each card)

1 piece of thick basic white 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"
Scraps of the in colour card stock for the flowers, leaves and the smallest of the rectangles
Scraps of basic white card stock for the flowers and the larger rectangle
Basic rhinestone jewels
Stampin Cut and Emboss machine
Stitched So Sweetly dies
Pansy dies
Pansy Patch
In Colour ink pads
In Colour ribbon
Trimmer
Simply scored
Bone folder
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Mini glue dots


Instructions

On the long side, score the thick basic white at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Die cut the two rectangles, the white one is the largest in the set and the coloured one is the next one down so they nest together really nicely. Adhere them together.

Die cut a selection of the flowers and leaves, I have mixed it up so that I have some with white edges and some with coloured. These dies also emboss the card stock.  There are other dies which will cut out the stamped images.  I played about with the different combinations just to see what they all looked like.  You can see from the picture below, how I have put them together.  I have seen some Demonstrators use just one of the single petals but the images in the catalogue show two so that's what I went with, but it will be up to you, do whatever you like best, they are your flowers.


I added the flower on dimensionals and tucked the leaves underneath.

Add a large rhinestone to the centre of the flower and a smaller one to the corner of the coloured card.

Tie a small bow and add to the rectangle above the rhinestone.

Stamp the sentiment in one of the In-Colours at the bottom right of the card front and then add the decorated piece at an angle across the card.

As you can see from the picture, I've made a few different ones and mixed up the colour combinations, I hope that you, and my customers, will like them.
