Circle of Thanks by Jean Okimoto

Send a note of thanks with designs from our Magnolia and Gracious Floral Collections. Add glittery, sparkly accents too! Hi, Jean here with a layered mix of classic favorites and our latest designs.

Cut the Stylish Frame Trio circle and Curved Magnolia Branch from green cardstock. We'll use some of the extra leaves from the branch set too. Trim the large leaf that would be hidden behind the blossom - it'll be repositioned at the bottom of the branch.

Cut Tilted Thanks from a purple Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.

Cut the blossom - from the Gracious Floral 3D Embossing Folder and Die Set - from a Twilight Purple 6x6. Spritz both sides with a light mist of water to make the cardstock pliable for embossing. Press Electric Purple Radiant Neon ink onto the upper blossom section of the embossing folder - tap the inkpad repeatedly, don't squish or rub the ink into the design. Place the diecut in the folder and pressure emboss it using the plate(s) required for your machine.

Sprinkle the embossed, inked diecut with detail clear powder, firmly tap off the excess powder. Heat-emboss it. Lightly ink the center using a cotton swab and Brilliance Graphite Black.

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼") - use foam tape for petals. Attach purple Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

That's it! 3D embossing adds dimension to the blossom - inking and heat-embossing it accents the details.

Thanks for visiting the blog...have a great weekend!
