Framed Occasions 'Best Day' Handmade Card. Crafty Collaborations Challenge Blog Hop. September 2022

  Good Afternoon Everyone

Today I'm taking part int he Crafty Collaborations Crafty Challenge Blog Hop and this month we have a colour Challenge. I love this mix of colours, they work so well together.

I wanted a pretty flat card so it was easy to post, so I decided to do a little masking. I have run out of masking paper, so I used a die cut to create my hexagon mask. The floral elements from Framed Occasions work perfectly!







Measurements

Garden Green Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Basic Black Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"

1pc - scrap

--------------------------------------

Take your Garden Green Card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the larger piece of Basic White to the inside.

Run a scrap of basic white through your Cut & Emboss Machine with the largest Hexagon Dies from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Or, you could just cut round the die and some masking paper!

Place this hexagon roughly in the centre of the remaining basic white card. You may find it useful to add a very small bit of adhesive behind this to 'tack' it in place whilst you stamp - you want to be able to remove this easily so go easy on the sticky stuff! haha

Using a selection of the images from Framed Occasions and all of the colours, stamp around the hexagon filing in all the space around it - stamp over it too so that you will get a nice clean line when the die cut is removed.

Once it has all been filled in - removed the hexagon and discard. 

Ink up the hexagon outline and stamp into the blank space you have, filling in the centre with the sentiment - using memento ink for both.

Take two lengths of the Fresh Freesia ribbon and run one across the top and one across the bottom, securing then on the back with a bit of tape.

Layer this to the Basic Black and then add it all to the card front.

Finally add some rhinestones to the centre of the flowers.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop to get a lot more inspiration using this Combo.
