Flowers WLSC

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Hilary of  

Flowers
 
 
with a wonderful prize for the winner from 

Our prize this month is a £25 store voucher from Personal Impressions (inc pps, winner meets costs of any additional spend). Personal Impressions is one of the UK’s leading brand managers/wholesalers/distributors in the arts and crafts industry, specialising in mixed media, papercrafts, card-making, scrapbooking and journaling. PI are proud to represent over 70 brands from global, recognisable brands to small, niche and new.
 

A lovely subject, which I'm sure we all love. I have numerous flower stamps, but I went for an old one. I also wanted to use a new die and a new technique to me. 

I stamped the flower twice on pieces of the same card, then coloured with DI's side by side, trying to copy one to the other. Next, I die cut a slatted square in the top piece and die cut it again, adding a scalloped edge. Then, I 3D attached the bottom piece, matching it to the top.  

I found this sentiment in my files, copied from somewhere, which I printed and die cut to match the top layer. I also found a music file that I cut with the Silhouette, which I added to the edge of both the top pieces.

Here are more photos of our Green Woodpecker, he's come back again, this time not flying away from the Magpie, but hiding from him. The photos were taken in the rain, so not good, but I hope you can see him.

Your card is AMAZING Faith!! Gorgeous image, but it's the layering and cutting slats that takes this card to a whole new level. Very creative, my friend! xx
