January Card Class #2: Fresh Freesia Floral Card

At Sunday's card class, three of the four cards used the gorgeous Lovely and Beautiful suite.  (I LOVE that the front sides of each paper has gold foil accents!)  The first card we made used Fresh Freesia and Old Olive.

 It's hard to tell from the photo, but I blended Old Olive ink onto the card front and then flicked water from a water painter to give it an interesting texture.  The pretty flowers and leaves were die cut from the Simply Beautiful dies.  Adding Fresh Freesia ink with a blending brush adds such pretty dimension and texture!

I stamped the sentiment and the inside of the card with this pretty outline floral stamp from the exclusive Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set in Fresh Freesia and added a skinny strip of Lovely and Beautiful DSP. 

Thank you to Kim McGillis for this pretty card sketch/idea!  If you attended card class and/or are a customer of mine, you will receive instructions including measurements to recreate this card design.  It is definitely one that I will be using again!  Please share if this card inspires you to create something!  Get inky, friends!
