Who are the Piccadilli Players? We are 2024 Artisan Design Team members who wanted to keep our group together for occasional Instagram hops. The theme for our first hop was flowers in our favorite colors, which posted on Instagram March 28th. The flower I chose is from the Happy Hibiscus die set.
Hibiscus with Bokeh
For the first card, I cut the Happy Hibiscus flowers from Floral Delight Designer Paper. Don’t you love the yellow gingham? The leaves were cut with a Friends For Life Die, also from Floral Delight Designer Paper, in a green pattern. Then, I made a second cut with the leaf die, from Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper, and used the “inside” pieces to fill in the frame.
Next, the leaves were glued to Beautiful Bokeh “sky,” cut with an Around It All die, and the flowers were attached with Dimensionals. After adding cardstock for thickness to the “sky,” I attached it with Dimensionals to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The entire card base was given texture with the extra large, So Swirly Embossing Folder.
“Happy Birthday” is from the Friends For Life Stamp Set, stamped in Old Olive Ink, and cut with an Around it All die. To complete the card, I added three, smaller flowers to the sentiment, and gave all the flowers yellow, Dots For Days.
For the second card, I used the same Happy Hibiscus Dies, and cut a “gazillion” flowers from Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper. The die set has two of each of the flowers, so it didn’t really take that long. Then, I glued the flower centers to Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, leaving the petals free to lift for dimension.
After gluing the layer to a Bubble Bath card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I used Friend For Life dies to cut the word “friend.” Thick Basic White Cardstock was used for the word, backed with Beautiful Bokeh DSP, to blend in with the flowers, and it was attached with Dimensionals.
For some sparkle, I added Iridescent Discs to some of the flower centers.
