The thank you card for my customers in July features the gorgeous Meadow Dies, simply blended with colour.  I was inspired by the  Purple Coneflowers coming into bloom in my garden.   However there are so many terrific flower & foliage dies in this set, its easy to choose any combination and blend colour from your favourite palette.  The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set, a versatile go to stamp set perfect for many cards.

And here's the card details:

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Thick Basic White card base (4 1/4 x 11 folded in half portrait orientation)

Assembly & Trix:

*  Die cut the flowers from Thick Basic White CS using the Meadow Dies.

*  Blend colours on the Meadow Dies using Blending Brushes.  ***Trix. colour the stem using Evening Evergreen and the flowers using Rich Razzleberry & Highland Heather.  Gradually increase the colour and deepen it on various areas of the bloom and stem.  Blend on a scrap piece of paper first to see the colour intensity.

*  Decide on placement of the flower grouping on the CS layer, remove the flowers then softly blend the purples in the areas surrounding the flowers to create visual depth. 

*  Adhere the flowers to the CS layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (glue) and Mini Glue Dots.  ***Trix, I chose glue because I wanted some parts of the flowers the be off the card.  Some flowers were adhered with rolled glue dots to create added dimension.  

*  Adhere the CS layer to the card base with glue.  

*  Stamp the sentiment using Evening Evergreen and adhere it to the strip of In The Wild DSP.

*  Adhere the sentiment piece to the card using dimensionals and embellish with Genial Gems.
