Country Bouquet Happy Valentine's Day Card. Crafty Collaborations Valentine Blog Hop. January 2023

Good Afternoon Everyone

Happy Wednesday! Today I'm taking part in the Crafty Collaborations Valentine's Day blog hop, where we will share lots on inspiration for you.

Know we aren't huge on Valentine's celebrations - we give cards and a present, but we don't do a great deal with it. Now, the Country Floral Lane Suite is just perfect for this celebration - But there's plenty of life in it for all sorts of creating!

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

Take the Sweet Sorbet Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add the Basic White piece to the inside and layer the two pieces of DSP to the card front.

Bring in your Mini Cut and Emboss Machine and cut of the smooth inner oval from the Framed Florets Dies. Add this to the card front towards the left.

Take apiece of the DSP with the Flower and Leaf images and you will find that you can take the Country Bouquet Punch and cut around these perfectly, or you can quite easily fussy cut. Pop these up on Dimensionals add place onto the Balmy Blue Oval.

On a scrap piece of basic white, draw a stem with your Mossy Meadow stamping blend. I took the brush tip a gave a gently 'swipe' making a slight curve. Fussy cut and add to the card front.

Stamp the Sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto another scrap of Basic White and then layer onto a piece of Sweet Sorbet. Trim this down, angling the left side and keeping the right side straight.

Pop this up onto dimensionals and place on the card front lining up the straight edge to the edge of the DSP to the right.

Finally add some of the Pastel Sequins for a little bling.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today. Please continue through the hop for lots more Valentine's Inspiration
