Pinpoint Floral Slimline by Jean Okimoto

Hi - Jean Okimoto here with some March Challenge inspiration on a floral slimline design. The new Winsome Rose and Leaves Contour Layers set from Birch Press Design makes it easy to build detailed, dimensional blossoms with the Berry Red 6x6 Collection.

Creating intricate layered flowers is simple with our 6x6 paper collections and the latest release. It's like paint-by-number - with colorful cardstock instead of a paintbrush!

Cut white cardstock with Hex Half Pinpoint. Cut it with a portion of the Pinpoint Leaf Plate.

Cut Verdant Arch from a light green 6x6 in the Lush Green Collection. Cut the solid leaf backgrounds in the Winsome Rose and Leaves Contour Layers set from the same green 6x6. Cut the detailed leaf overlays and the flower center from a darker green 6x6. Assemble the layered leaves.

The pinpoint background matches the Verdant Arch - and the Half Hex creates a solid backdrop for the bold flower to stand out.

Cut the Winsome Rose from 3 shades of Berry Red 6x6 cardstock. Assembling the rose is easy - the 2 bottom layers have lightly scored guidelines showing exactly where the layering pieces should be attached. Assemble the rose and add the green center.

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-½" x 8-½").

Stamp the greeting - from the Signature Greeting Clear Stamp and Die Set - on white cardstock with Shady Lane VeraFine Clair. Dry the ink, then cut the greeting with the coordinating die. Cut green cardstock with the greeting die and attach it - offset to the right - for dimension.

Add pink/coral Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

The 6x6 Color Collections make it easy to coordinate colors and build layered designs like leaves and flowers. Folllow the outlines on the layering pieces for accurate placement - or create your own unique designs. Have fun mixing, matching and layering the beautiful flowers and leaves in our latest releases at Memory Box, Poppystamps and Birch Press Design!
