You Make My Heart Bloom
Hi there my crafty friends! I started by
cutting the two largest dies from the Looped Rectangles die set in white and
matting them. Using the
Wild Rose die set, I cut the largest flower out of soft lavender, lilac and iris
card and added black centres to each flower. I cut the
smaller flowers out of teal, soft lavender and lilac card, add black centres to
each flower. I cut one
side flower out of teal card, adding the half centre, then assembled the flower. I cut a variety of stems out of green card. I assembled all the flowers and stems
together and added the flowers with glue dots
(I use glue dots as they can be lifted up and repositioned easily) I cut the
large butterfly from the Bountiful butterflies die set. I used a piece of black card on top of a piece
of white card and coloured the white piece using the embossed lines as the pattern. I assembled the butterfly, then glued it in the
upper corner, leaving the wings bent upward slightly. I cut the You Make My Heart Bloom sentiment in
black and added it to the shadow backing piece cut in white. I added it with mounting foam to the top of the
card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished
dimensions are 7” x 8 ¼” in size.

Morning Sue. What a lovely, cheerful card today. It's so nice to see the pretty flowers on such a grey day here in Beckenham. I do particularly like the looped rectangle dies because they add detail without being over the top.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card Sue x the wild roses are so pretty and I love the colours you have used x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Sue, this "You Make My Heart Bloom" card is absolutely stunning! The combination of soft lavender, lilac, iris, and teal for the flowers creates a beautiful and harmonious color palette. The intricate details from the Looped Rectangles and Bountiful Butterflies die sets add so much elegance to the design. The sentiment is heartwarming and perfectly placed. Thanks for sharing this lovely and inspiring creation!
