You Are the Best – Crafty Meraki

Hello, crafters!! Happy Thursday!! I have a mostly die-cut card  to share for Crafty Meraki that was inspired by the colors of the upcoming fall season!!

I began by die-cutting the Fern Leaf and June Flora Dies from watercolor paper. I spread Distress Oxide Inks onto my glass mat and spritzed them with water. I used Bundled SageEvergreen Bough and Rustic Wilderness for the leaves and Picked RaspberrySeedless PreservesMustard Seed and Ripe Persimmon for the flowers. I swiped and dabbed the die-cuts into the diluted ink until I got the coverage that I liked, then set them aside to dry.


For the background, I die-cut the Olivia Mini Slimline Die from white cardstock and adhered it to a white mini slimline card base. Once the die-cuts were dry, I adhered them to the background with liquid glue, then splattered it with diluted gold pigment ink.

The sentiment was foiled onto Glimmer Specialty Cardstock with the Handmade Love Hot Foil Plate and matte gold foil. I used the Coordinating Die to cut out the sentiment and popped it up with foam tape. Gold Opal Gems were the perfect finishing touch.

I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to stop by!! Have a great day and I’ll see you soon!!
