Gilded Lily

Morning, Today I am sharing a card made with the Easel dies, without the lovely intricate inserts. Using some Graphic 45 Papers to decorate. Did you get to see any of the One Day Special, with the Die'sire Easel cards. I't was wonderful seeing all of the samples from the Design Team. I was ever so proud to see my parchment card on screen, I will be sharing the step by step for that later.

For this card you will need:
Floral Easel Create a Card Die Set
12 x 12 Gilded Lily From Graphic 45
Matt Black Card
Ivory Centura Pearl
Lily Die from Sara's Signature Collection
Frame Die from Sara's Signature Collection
Tacky Glue
3D Glue Gel
Distress Inks Tattered Rose and Twisted Citron
Pebeo Metallic foil and adhesive

Step 1: Create your Easel base with folded Ivory Centura Pearl, using  the larger die and the score die. Make sure you overhang the folded edge. At the same time make a mat and secure to the top with tacky glue.

Step 2: Using both dies create a frame for the top section, set aside.

Step 3: Cut 2 larger shapes from the Graphic 45 pad, lay one over your base and cut to fit. Secure this along with the topper piece with tacky glue. You can now add the thin frame to the top section over the patterned paper. This gives a really smart finish.

Step 4: Cut another frame for the base using the same 2 dies. Set aside to secure later.

Step 5: From the gilded lily pad, cut one of the strips and layer onto black card to leave a thin border. Repeat this with the mini topper, which will act as your stopper. Next cut enough petals, stamens and leaves to create 3 lilies for decoration. Colour the leaves with Twisted Citron, tint the edges of the lilies with Tattered Rose.

Step 6: Choose and image to fit behind the frame which has been cut from black matt card. Secure behind with Tacky glue

Step 7: Secure your border strip to you base and trim any excess. Now you can place the thin edge frame. Add the stopper and framed topper with 3D glue gel. To finish your card, arrange the lilies and leaves, with glue gel.
