Neutral Monochromatic Hibiscus Card

Hi there! I’m back with my second card for the Altenew 3D Floral Focus card class. This class is fantastic, but I have to admit that I struggled with this monochromatic card.

I suppose I could have chosen one color in varying shades, but I decided to REALLY test my skills by doing a neutral card!! (WHAT?!) I know, I know, it’s not like me at all!

I do think that it turned out rather striking. But I had to add some pizzazz somehow! So I cut the main portion of the hibiscus in PEARL paper (it has quite a beautiful pearl sheen in the light)! And I added some silver glitter leaves. There! That’s more like it.

When I had this arrangement of flowers and leaves all laid out on my black cardstock, I used the Glad Press ‘n Seal trick to pick them ALL UP and put glue on the back. Then I took the entire arrangement that was still attached with the Press ‘n Seal, and glued it right onto the card. I let the glue dry for a minute, then pulled off that Press ‘n Seal to reveal my grouping of flowers & leaves. It works like a charm!

I’m often asked what supplies I’ve used, so I’ve compiled a list here. I have to say…it’s quite a NEUTRAL list of supplies today (except that Press ‘n Seal…Lol)! I’ve used affiliate links when possible, at no extra cost to you. When you purchase through these links I may get a small commission, which helps me keep up with blog costs and bring you more and more fun projects! Thank you.

Check out the Floral 3D class if you are interested in learning more about these 3D flower dies. I’m having a blast!

Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
