Hello, crafty friends! I’m so excited to be creating with the Spellbinders Glimmering Flowers Collection. It’s so beautiful and easy to use with hot foil plates and coordinating stencils. You’ll definitely want every piece in this collection! I used the same colour palette to create contrasting cards for this post and you’ll definitely see more from me using other products in this collection.
Both my cards feature the Glimmering Buttercups Glimmer Plate but this first card also features the Layered Glimmering Buttercups Stencils which are only available as part of the Glimmering Buttercups Glimmer and Stencil Bundle.
I heat foiled the Glimmering Buttercups on white cardstock with Aura Hot Foil and I love the way it shimmers and glows in the light. I chose four inks to stencil in the buttercups and they are Be Mine, Cotton Candy, Glitz and Sprinkles. I layered a bit of Glitz over Sprinkles on the small leaves for a slight green tint.
After stencilling, I used the largest of the Precision Layering A2 A dies to cut the panel and attached it to a white linen card base. Next, I heat foiled all of the Curved Everyday Sentiments with Aura Hot Foil on Pitch Black cardstock.
After layering the sentiment banner with Sweet Pea and Surf Blue cardstock, I popped it on foam strips and added some Fashion Topaz Pearl Dots to finish the card.
This second card is a dramatic contrast to the first design. I wanted to show off the beautiful details on the Glimmering Buttercups Glimmer Plate and this was easy to do with Bright Pink Hot Foil on Pitch Black cardstock.
No stencil was necessary here but if you wanted to add something, distress oxide inks would work wonderfully to highlight the buttercups a bit.
Once again, I cut the panel using the Precision Layering A2 A dies and attached it to a white linen card base. Next, I heat foiled all of the Curved Everyday Sentiments with Aura Hot Foil on white cardstock.
I cut extra sentiment banners with Mirror Gold cardstock and popped it to the foiled panel with foam strips, tucking a teal double bow underneath.
I’d love to know if you prefer the soft, colourful design or the bold, dramatic design! I appreciate you stopping by and, if you’re inspired, please shop my affiliate links below. Spellbinders would love to know that you were inspired by me.
