I thought I would make an easy but beautiful card for this blog post and of course that meant using the Fine Art Floral Suite to make this Fine Art Floral Golden Garden Birthday Card. I know the title is a little weird, but it’s because I used the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate Sheets. I didn’t even know what they were called, just that they were in the new spring mini catalog and I had them! If you place them just right, some parts match this designer paper!
First I made the card. I wanted to use the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. I chose the sheet that has one top corner bare of flowers. Actually, there is another sheet with a blue background and yellow flowers, but this one has the white background with pinkish flowers. You’ll see it in your package. You could also just frame this sheet of paper, kind of like some other designer paper we had one time! Or use it for a scrapbook page. I chose So Saffron for the card base, one of the paper’s coordinating colors….and there are a lot of coordinating colors with this paper!
Next, I got out the Golden Garden Acetate Sheets and found the portion that matched the flowers on the paper and cut it out. I just put tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the back of the acetate on the widest parts of the printed design in hopes of hiding the glue. Actually, when you turn the acetate over, you could use that side instead! Then I carefully overlaid the acetate on the floral paper. Be sure to adhere the ribbon around the designer paper and acetate before you adhere to the card base. I added a piece of the 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon which is soft, pliable, and has gold in it!
The greeting is stamped in Flirty Flamingo Ink from the Art Gallery Stamp Set in the Suite. I die cut the piece with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. Next, I cut out two flowers from a scrap of the designer paper and popped them up on the corners of the greeting. I’m not sure if I like them or not, but they are there.
That’s all there is to this card! Once again, the beautiful designer paper does most of the work to give you a lovely card! The acetate overlay is a bonus. HERE is another card I made recently with both sides of the same designer paper.
