Nordic Happy Vibes
by Rachel Duong
Hi everyone! It’s Rachel here to share a light-hearted card with subdued hues. The Poppystamps “Nordic Spectacular Butterfly”, the focal point, is nothing short of pure beauty. The detail on this die is just like it’s name-Spectacular!
To create this card I began with a gorgeous floral patterned paper from the Memory Box “Anemone Grove” pack. I die cut a border using the “Double Scalloped Stitched Frames” using the outer piece of the largest frame.
Next I chose colors I saw present in the border from Memory box paper packs “Ocean Blue”, “Stormy Blue” and “Lush Green”. I die cut the butterfly and mushrooms and glued the pieces together. Many were cut to come up with just the right color combinations! For a whimsical feel, I added an extra layer of mushroom tops at varying angles.
Next up was a hot foiled sentiment in gold on black cardstock from the “Modest Banner Greetings” foil and cut die set. I love the elegant feel it gives to the card!
I adhered all the pieces to a steel grey cardfront and then a black cardbase. The cardfront was slightly smaller than an A2 size card, leaving a narrow black border. Notice I was able to fit the butterfly right over the sentiment without it covering up the words?! Finally I added Fairy Jewels for the finishing touch.
I hope you love this card as much as I do! Please take a look at the awesome Poppystamps Nordic dies. There are so many to choose from and they all work so beautifully together. Have a wonderful day and I will see you very soon!
