Instructions: Cut white cardstock to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4" to create A2 card base. Cut an A2 size card front that has the peach with green border pattern on reverse side, from the Camelia Carnation paper. Cut another A2 card front like the one shown and trim down edges to green border. Diecut the center rectangle from the card front, using the matching Cut Mat Create 1A die. Using from the Eyelet Oval die, diecut the largest and 2nd largest from white cardstock to create an oval frame. Sponge edges of card base, peach panel and oval frame with Rose Coral ink. Sponge edges of 1A rectangle with Pistachio ink. Attach the layers onto card using glue and dimensional adhesive.
Stamp the budding carnation from the HCPC-3808 Fanciful Carnation stamp set in Bamboo Leaves onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp the large, medium and small set of 3 from HCPC-3806 Small Camelia Carnation stamp set in Tangelo ink onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating dies. You'll need 2 of the large, 3 medium and 3 small petals. Diecut 2 of the small flower bases, using from the HCD1-7165 Large Camelia die.
Use the Stack and Store daubers to sponge the edges of carnation petals lightly with Rose Coral ink. Sponge the stem with Pistachio and New Sprout ink.
Use the Flower Shaping kit to shape the carnation stem. Use the HCFB1-464 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold to shape carnation petals, then also crinkle with fingers to get that ruffled look. For shaping tips, refer to the tutorial above. Stack 3 petals into each other twice, to create a large and medium sized carnation. Create 2 cone shaped flower bases and glue the carnations into them. This gives the carnations an upright shape. Shape the remaining petals into a bud form.
Cut the stem apart as shown. Attach stem and carnations onto the card as pictured. Trim down sentiment, sponge edges with Rose Coral ink and attach to card. Use Dries Clear glue along with Baby's Breath glitter to add a touch of sparkle over the carnations, stem and rest of card as desired.
