Using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder I ran the panel of dsp through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine using the Speciality Plate. I placed the embossed piece on my Glass Mat with the de-bossed side uppermost.

The Starry Sky ink pad was then repeatedly rubbed over the dsp panel until the colour was dark enough and the Fresh Freesia dsp showed up nicely. The inked dsp panel was then glued to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” layer of Basic White card.

One of the pretty frames from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set was stamped onto scrap Fresh Freesia using Starry Sky ink. The frame was then punche out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. The sentiment, from the Biggest Wish stamp set was stamped inside the frame using the same ink. I punched a white hexagon, cut it in half from side to side and glued it to the reverse of the sentiment with a little bit peeking out at the top and the bottom. The sentiment was mounted over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

I rubbed my Embossing Buddy over the stamped Basic White panel to remove static and added a pinch of Loose Silver Sequins over the sentiment. I also added a few aqua coloured sequins from my stash. The panel of dsp was then carefully added over the Basic White panel. I pressed firmly to make sure it was well stuck down.

The whole piece was then glued to the Pool Party layer and then to the Pebbled Path card base.

I stamped the hummingbird and single flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured both images using the following Blends Pens – Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Pebbled Path. I die cut them out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.

The hummingbird was added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots. I added loops of Pool Party Baker’s Twine to the back of the flower, securing it in place with Tear & Tape. The flower was then added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.

A trio of Adhesive Backed Solid Gems completed the card.

Please hop along as I am sure my crafty friends have lots of shaker cards to give you inspiration.
