Peruvian Lily card

 Today I am featuring this lovely friendship card.  It features two beautiful pink Peruvian Lillies from Altenew's `Craft A  Flower Club for June 2021.  You can purchase this layering die set either separately, or you can subscribe to the monthly club and get a new layering flower every month.  


To create this card, I started with a white card base, then I removed the soft pink/checked paper from the Blue Blossom Double Sided Paper pack.  I created a mat of the soft pink side of the paper measuring 4 x 5.25".  I then cut a strip of the checked side of the paper.  I accidently mis-cut this piece, but decided to use it anyway and placed it along the left side of the front of the card.  

The lilies were created with several shades of pink cardstock along with yellow and a soft orange for the stamens.  There is a guide on the back of the die package showing how the pieces should be layered.  I cut three leaves using three different shades of green cardstock.  

The leaves and top lily were glued down. The bottom lily was popped up using foam squares.  I found the perfect sized sentiment to fit in the lower right corner.  It comes from the Spellbinders Clear Stamp of the Month Kit for May 2021.  This set can be purchased without a subscription  here.  

I decided to decorate the flap of the envelope, by covering it with the pink plaid paper that matched the strip on the card.  I really like doing this whenever I can, as it adds a little extra touch to the set.  


I really liked how this one turned out.  Of course, I love anything pink!  I hope you too will give these lilies a try.  I am sure you too will love them!  

Thanks for stopping by and "Keep on Crafting"
