Bright Bloom Split Panel Card

This split front panel card is for Your Paper Insider's DT Instagram Hop for November. If you'd like to hop along, my Instagram handle is @CarrieSheridan.70. I'd love to see you there!

All papers used on my card are from Your Paper Insider's Box 13: Marigold Thai Unryu, Pumpkin Colormates Cardstock, Bright Gold Gloss Glitter, Baby Pink Cardstock, Red Wagon Mirri Sparkle, Ultrawhite Smooth Cardstock (adhered behind the Marigold Thai Unryu). 

For my split panel card, I trimmed and scored an A2 top-folding card base using Baby Pink Cardstock. Then I cut the front panel at 2 1/4 inches from the top. I trimmed the leftover pieces to 2 1/4 inches and then added a piece of 2 by 4 inch Red Wagon Mirri Sparkle (which is really more of a pink than a red) to each of the front panels. I die cut 3 sunflowers using Altenew's Bright Blooms Layering Die Set and Marigold Thai Unryu paper that I adhered to Ultrawhite Smooth Cardstock using a spray adhesive. I find the lovely unryu papers die cut more easily when adhered to cardstock first. I did the centers of the flowers with Pumpkin Colormates Cardstock and Bright Gold Gloss Glitter cardstock. I also added a strip of the gold cardstock behind the die cuts on the inside of the card. I decided to cover the flower centers on the back of the front panel with glitter gold die cuts as well since they are plain white on the back side. I adhered the flowers to the 2 panels using my MISTI to align the bottom panel.

For the sentiments, I used Altenew's Bold Bouquet set and die cut, stamped, and heat embossed the word "You" and then stamped "are loved," "are cherished," and "make my heart smile" in orange ink to match the flower centers. I added a few flat gold pearls beside the word "you" to finish the card.
