Friendship card

Good Morning everyone

Today is another acetate flower card, this time instead of die cutting the acetate i stamped onto it and cut out. 



I first coloured the acetate snippets with red & yellow alcohol inks.  I then stamped just the poppy heads onto the acetate with stazon ink - stamp on the opposite side to the one you coloured with the ink.  I stamped the whole poppy stamp again and the sentiment from the set onto white card and die cut that into a label shape.  I lightly coloured the stem with pistachio oxide ink & the butterfly with lemonade oxide and added some splatters to the background.  I stamped just the butterfly onto vellum and cut out and added on top of the one on the base leaving its wings free.  I added my acetate poppies with a touch of glue gel behind where the dark centres are so that you can't see it.
I die cut 2 of the largest label4 from white card, one i folded in half for my base.  I then glue the 2nd one on top (photo below) and then added the poppy panel on top with foam tape.

Showing it side on and how the base works, i just cut a little slice off the back where the point is on the shape so it stands up. 

and a close up - you can easily see how the acetate shines with the lights reflecting on it😁  A touch of glitter glue added to the butterfly.

Items Used:
Chocolate Baroque stamp set 'pretty poppies'
Spellbinders grand labels 4 die set
CraftUK white linen card
Acetate
Vellum
Distress Oxide inks pistachio, lemonade
Tim Holtz alcohol inks, red pepper, sunshine yellow
Ranger stickles 'diamond'

What a beautiful easel card using the beautiful CB poppies! Love the shining of acetate and I'm sure that in real life it looks also better! The vellum butterfly is a lovely touch and like the amazing layered panel shapes!

Absolutely beautiful card, dear Emma. From its elegant shape to the timeless loveliness of that crimson poppy, this is a greeting that is equal parts sweet and stunning.
