Agapanthus - From the Heart Design Sheet - curvy scallops

From the heart design sheet

What you will need to make this card

Design Sheet can be bought here:  http://www.craftsuprint.com/card-making/quick-cards/floral/from-the-heart-painted-agapanthus-design-sheet-with-scallope.cfm

This card has been made by Gwyneth George

This is how Gwyneth made it

I printed the design onto Super Smooth white card and cut out the pieces. I took a white square card and stuck the scalloped paper ribbon down directly on the fold side before trimming off the excess. I stuck the base layer of the image directly to the card near the top right. I then stuck a blank greetings panel towards the bottom left using 1mm deep double sided foam tape and used the same tape to build up the central scallped pyramid. I finished off the card with several sizes of the same coloured faux gems. A lovely image that would be great for Mother's Day, Get Well or a Birthday card.

Get Crafting with Art Impressions stamps

About the company:

Art Impressions began selling educational stamps back in the mid 1980s. Traveling to local and regional craft fairs, customers from all over the Northwest loved the whimsical designs of owner and artist Bonnie Krebs. For over 20 years her talent has grown and developed into one of the major stamp illustrators and designers in the industry today.

A unique characteristic of Art Impressions, and what makes it stand out amongst so many other stamp companies, is its tremendous diversity of images. Bonnie's talent has not only grown and become more sophisticated over the years, she has wonderfully created new and original techniques. One of the most popular is our "Watercolor the Art Impressions Way." This line of artistic rubber stamps has proven to be a huge success
