For our March–April Blog Hop I created this Slimline card.

card created with Daisy Meadows and Cherry Blossoms

I stamped images from Cherry Blossoms on White Daisy using Cinnamon ink then colored them with Watercolor Pencils. I used a craft knife with glass cutting mat to fussy cut the intricate images. I used tools for shaping 3D flowers to create more dimension on the Cherry Blossoms. I used a combination of Glue Dots® Micro Dots, 3-D Foam Tape, and Thin 3-D Foam Tape to attach the flowers and banner.

You might be wondering how I created the Glacier cardstock background. I sliced, duplicated and welded the Rectangle PhotoMat (#M3D2BA) image from the Artbooking collection until I had a shape I was happy with that would fit on the Slimline card. If you would like, you can use my CTMH Slimline mini scallop layer Cricut® Design Space Project Link to save yourself some time. Then I pulled out the Score Board (retired) and scored from the back of the cardstock (I used the light side of Glacier on the card, so I scored from the dark side) to get an embossed effect. If you do not have the Score Board you can use your paper trimmer with the scoring blade or run the Dual-tip Stylus Embossing Tool (Z3505) in the track of the trimmer.

The sentiment is from the March Stamp Of The Month Winged Masterpiece. It is White Embossed on Peacock cardstock (dark side). When you read the list of products I used to create my card you might also be wondering where I used the Hexagon Thin Cuts. I used one to cut the dove tail on the Peacock cardstock. If the technique is new to you, I wrote about it on February 2.
