I'm very excited to share my final LEVEL 3 project with you all today! For my last level 3 course, I chose All about Layering 5~ BAF Edition with Lydia! Lydia gave us many terrific examples on how to layer these beautiful stamps as well as create unique cards! I was instantly drawn to the class where we make a trifold card and then have our flowers arranged to have lots of heights, dimensions ~it resembles a small garden to me! I chose to use the Bearded Iris Stamp Set as Iris's are one of my favorite spring flowers and the variety I have at home smell like grape soda! Here is my garden at home!
Here is the card I designed using the tools from my lesson!
Using the packaging layering instructions, I stamped a dozen Iris' and cut each one using the die cuts in the set.
Once all my images were die cut, I then took a 6"x10" piece of card stock and cut the card stock at an angle. To cut on the angle, you mark a dot on the top R corner and put a dot 2" from bottom on left corner. Cut into 2 pieces. Make a score line at the 3 1/2" mark and 7" mark
Now the fun begins! Fold the card in thirds and begin arranging the florals in a cascading way.
TIP: When arranging the florals on your card stock, place a piece of low tack tape on your groupings and then it is easier to adhere to card.
On my front panel I added a piece of Brushed Grid Wide Washi tape for added interest. I began layering my flowers in the back, gently tacked them down and repeated my steps on each panel. When the card is fully shut, you want your flowers arranged in a way to show case the blooms! They should stagger each other. I had to play a bit to get the right look.
Supplies Used:
Altenew BAF Bearded Iris
Lilac Blossoms Cube Set
Sentiments and Quotes Stamp Set
Brushed Grid Washi Tape

The All About Layering 5 Class BAF edition is truly a great class to add to your learning! I am going to create more cards like this using a variety of flowers! Will surely make a special gift!
Till next time! HUGS!
