Dandelion Wish

 

Today’s card began by cutting three dandelions, from Thick Whisper White Cardstock, making them sturdy enough to raise on Dimensionals. I wasn’t sure how they would be used, but I couldn’t wait to break them out of the new, Sweet Silhouettes Die Set.

Knowing the dandelions would feel at home among earth tones, I chose a Mossy Meadow card base, topped with Daisy Lane Designer Series Paper. The leafy print coordinates with my dandelions, don’t you think?

 

Fortunately, the word “wish” was made available by the Hand-Lettered Prose Die Set, and it’s beautiful, cut from Noble Peacock Foil in Old Olive. This is just one of three gorgeous colors of foil, that you can see in my Product List.

“Wish” is flush to the card front, because I first cut the letters from the DSP, and then filled in the holes with the foil letters.

 

I discovered after making this card that the “h” is actually a “y.” Oh well, you might not have noticed, if I hadn’t said something. The added loop is very pretty!

To finish off the card, I tied the dandelion stems together with Linen Thread, securing them with Tear & Tape. Lastly, I added Glitter Enamel Dots to their centers for some extra pizzazz. 

 

Since everyone needs to make a wish on their birthday, I’m sharing this card with Seize the Birthday. Plus, it qualifies for their “toppings,” because it “covers the card.”

I’ll be sharing another card with Seize the Birthday on Thursday, July 4th, because they’ve asked me to be a Party Guest Designer. I’m excited to share it with you too!

 

Thanks for stopping by. Now, birthday or not, make a wish!
