A recent poll carried out showed that the 2 most wanted tutorials were for CAS cards and for cards with created backgrounds. This tutorial explores both and shows that with 8 sheets of quality white card, some of the amazing Nuvo Mousse and the amazing Backyard Blossoms you can create 5 elegant cards to show you care.

Using a damp sponge apply the pink flambe mousse to completely cover one sheet of white card. Work quickly and smoothly using small circles to blend the mousse. The mousse will form lines and shading as you apply. Further areas of colour can be added to give more depth or create a speckled effect by dabbing thicker amounts of mousse onto the card.

From the pink flambe cardstock cut 1 x 4.5" square and 1 x 3"x3.75" Die cut the 3rd largest circle and the lacy edge from the lacy diamond die.

Stamp the gardens edge coneflower plus 2 flower heads and 2 of the backyard blossom filler flowers in gray granite ink onto the leftover coloured card. Cover the stamped images in clear embossing powder, remove excess and heat to set. Die cut all the images.

 Shape the coneflower using the flower shaping tools.

Layer the 2 additional flower heads onto the main flower, glue the head of the flower - not the petals. Cover the head of the flower in glue and sprinkle over the silver lining prills, remove excess and allow to dry.

Glue the 4.5" square pink flambe card to a 5" square card base.

Cut a 3.75 square piece of white card. Stamp the sentiment approx. 1" from the bottom of the card using memento ink, cover in clear embossing powder, remove excess and heat to set. Mount the white sentiment card onto the base card using foam pads and glue the coneflower into position using dries clear glue.

On a piece of 4.75" x 3.75" white card, stamp the sentiment in black memento ink, and heat emboss with clear embossing powder as with the previous card - approx. 1.5" from the bottom of the card. Glue the lacy border into place under the sentiment, and mount the card onto a 4" x 5" card base using foam pads.

Cut the diecut filler flowers into 4 separate pieces.

Tie the filler flowers with linen thread and position onto the card base using hot glue.

Cut a 5" square piece of white card. Diecut the 4th size circle centrally in the white card approx .75" from the top of the card. 

Stamp the coneflowers in gray granite onto the pink flambe circle and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Glue the circle onto the base card so that it lines up to show through the aperture

Score 3 little lines of different lengths approx. .75" at the bottom of the aperture card on both sides. Leave a gap for the sentiment to be added,  then stamp and heat emboss "remembering with you" between the raised score lines and mount the card to the base card using foam pads.

Stamp the Heartfelt Sympathy sentiment onto vellum using black memento ink, cover with clear embossing powder, remove excess and heat to set. Tear into an uneven sentiment strip approx. 1" wide x 4.5" in length.

Stamp the coneflower frame in gray granite ink and emboss, as before, with clear embossing powder. Die cut.

Tip:- When stamping the larger stamps with thin ends, place on the stamping block and ensure they are sitting correctly by placing the die on top of them and nudging the stamp to fit the die.

Wrap the vellum sentiment around the 3" x 3.75" piece of pink flambe card and glue into place at the back. Glue the coneflowers onto the card to frame the edge of the pink flambe card and mount the sentiment topper to a 5.5" x 6.25" white card base using foam pads.

Cut a piece of white card approx. 3.75" x 5.75" and stamp the sentiment in the centre of the card using black memento ink. Cover in clear embossing powder, remove excess and heat to set. Then mask off the centre of the card using a glass mat grid 

Swirl pink flambe mousse onto the top and bottom of the white card. When dry, stamp the filler flowers onto the pink areas using gray granite ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Carefully remove the low tac tape from the centre of the card, and adhere the card to a 6" x 4" white card base.

Stamp a single backyard blossom and 2 flower heads in gray granite onto white card and die cut. Shape and create the flower in the same way as in the first card and add transparent glitter to some of the foilage on the stem of the flower and glue the coneflower into position using wet glue.
