Come see how to create texture for your cards using a background cover die.

I love to add texture to my cards using a pretty patterned background. The Crosshatch Cover by Brass and Bliss with its delicate pattern adds dimension but allows the floral arrangement to be the main focus. I used the Whisper Blossoms, Branches and Leaves and Seaweed and Coral to finish the card.

Card Base

Use colored cardstock to cut an A2 sized card base.
Cut the cover using white cardstock.
Apply glue all around the frame background with tiny touches to a few key spots of the pattern and attach it to the card base.

Flowers

Cut three flower sections for each flower using white cardstock.
Apply touches of yellow to the flower centers.
Place the flower sections face down on a molding pad and roll over each petal with a large round stylus.
Turn the flowers face up on the pad and push down in the centers with a small round stylus.
Attach the flower sections together using glue and attach the round center pieces using s small pop dot.
Apply glue to the back of the three flowers and attach them in place on the card base.

Foliage

Use green cardstock to cut several section of the foliage branches.
Tuck the large branch sections under the flowers and attach them using glue.
Tuck a few the delicate foliage sections under the flowers to finish the arrangement.
