Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card is one that I shared on the Kort & Godt gallery blog yesterday. Most of winter’s snow had melted before we had a few days earlier in the week of snowy, windy weather – which made me long for proper spring and summer even more than I already did. When I long for spring and summer, I tend to make floral cards.

I started by fussy cutting this floral image, leaving a white border around it. I then used the Crystal Distortion embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp on my card base to create some interest to it.

I added a piece of Lemon Tart cardstock from Papertrey Ink at a bit of an angle at the bottom of my card front, and glued a small strip of Gold Shine cardstock from My Favorite Things at the top for a defined edge between the white and yellow. I put foam squares on the back of my flowers and adhered the image on the left hand side of the front, chopping off the overhanging bit and adhering it to the inside so it didn’t go to waste.

Using Die360 from Kort & Godt, I die cut klem four times from Nautical cardstock from Hero Arts and stacked them for a dimensional look. I die cut the shadow from Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink (the same cardstock that I used for the card base) and adhered the stacked word to it, before putting foam squares on the back of the right half, adhering it directly to the image on the left.

I used one of the sentiment sticker strips from Kort & Godt to finish my sentiment. I trimmed it down slightly to make it more narrow and ink blended it with Winter Lake fresh dye ink from Altenew to make it match the blue in the flowers. I adhered the strip on top of the die cut and finished off the card with a few faceted pearls.
