Congratulations | by Rosemary Dennis

Hello everyone! Rosemary here on the blog. I hope your April is off to a good start. We have been having some wild weather here in the Pacific Northwest! Rain and high winds one day, sun the next. Today I’m sharing a card that I created with the gorgeous Abundant Branch die set. Let’s get started.

My niece recently graduated from the University of Washington-Tacoma and so I actually made this card for her. UW’s colors are purple and gold, so I went in that direction for my color scheme. I die cut the Abundant Branch pieces from white cardstock and then colored everything with distress oxide inks.

I let everything dry for a little bit before putting the branch together. I pulled a piece of patterned paper from the Memory Box Gladiola Plaid 6×6 pad and trimmed it down into a strip. I had previously die cut a pierced arch from cream woodgrain cardstock (Memory Box) so I added that to the mix.

I die cut white cardstock with a rectangle die and then layered on the plaid paper strip and the cream woodgrain die cut. I used double sided tape and liquid adhesive to adhere the layers to a white cardstock base.

Liquid adhesive was used to put the Abundant Branch together and then adhered to the wood grain panel. I made sure to not put the adhesive on the end of the branch and one of the flowers so I could slip the sentiment underneath. The sentiment from the Vintage Everyday Greetings stamp set was stamped in black and then die cut with a label die. I finished with tiny dots of yellow Nuvo drops to the centers of the flower.

Well, that’s it for me. I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
