Hello everyone. I had some die cuts left over from my cards featuring the 2024 Gladiola collection, so I put them to use onto a card.
The completed pink Whimsical Gladiola was from this post (you can see it lying beside the card in the photo). The untouched butterfly pieces from this post was ink blended with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Black Soot distress inks (DI).
An oval mask was then die cut from acetate using the Oval Basics die from Poppy Stamps. Masked the center of an A2 size Bristol panel and ink blended Spun Sugar DI starting in the middle and fading outwards. The Lattice Plate, also from Poppy Stamps, was die cut from Bristol. Assembled the card onto a white card base, then added the gold foil greeting tab and clear shimmer to the flowers and butterfly for some sparkle to finish. The butterfly was popped up on foam tape for even more dimension. .
My second card has the same design, but reversed. An untouched Sensational Gladiola from this post was ink blended with Wilted Violet DI.
Rather than masking the center with the positive die cut oval mask, the negative oval acetate piece was used as a stencil. The Lattice Plate was die cut from acetate to use as a stencil, too. Placed it over the oval opening then ink blended Shaded Lilac DI.
The butterfly here was a newly die cut from yellow Sunrise paper and ink blended with Mustard Seed and Black Soot DI.
Stamped the sentiments from Bold Cheerful Floral in black then assembled the card onto a white card base. Repeated the clear shimmer application as above for some sparkle to finish.
That does it for my cards. Thank you for joining me today. Have a wonderful day.

What beautiful cards, Trina. Your backgrounds are such cleverly crafted settings for your flower and butterfly. I'll be trying out these backgrounds for some flowers I created last evening. tfs

I love how you used the lattice on both cards. The gladiola is beautiful.
