I saw a card using the Lacy Ovals on Anita KejriwalÂ’s blog and decided that they would be the perfect choice for my new Spellbinders Orchid dies.
Make 3 orchids.
I cut the “Angel wings and Lace Oval out of white cardstock. For the card base, cut your 8 ½” x 11” cardstock to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Make 2 marks 2 1/8” from the left side. This line is where you put the straight edge of the Angel Wing. Draw a light line to connect the marks. Lay the Angel Wing so that the straight edge of the die is along the centerline. Tape in place and cut. Turn die over and place it on the right side of the line, tape in place and cut out. Sponge the edges, front and back, in pink.
For the card base take a 4 ¼” x 11 piece of cardstock; fold it in ½ so you have a 5 ½” x 4 ¼” piece. Make 2 marks 2 1/8” from the left side, and draw a light line to connect them. Place the top of the die just above the top of the fold, with the straight edge along the pencil line. Tape in place and cut out. Turn Die over to the right side and repeat, being sure to match up the edges of the die before cutting out. You now have a card base with a hinge. Sponge the edges, front and back, in pink. Fold the top oval in ½. Cut out 2 of the lacy ovals and sponge the edges pink. Cut 2 of the Italian Flourish Doily and cut 1of the doilies in half.
Using Cheery Lyn Inverted Scallop Ovals, cut out 2 of #6, 1 of #4 and 1 of #1 out of light pink; 2 of #3 in dark pink; and 1 of #2 in a darker shade of pink. Sponge the edges.
Assembling the card: Open the top of the card base and fold it in ½. Add Red Line Tape below the fold. Line up the scalloped edges on your Angel Wing with the scalloped edges on the card base, remove the tape and press the angel wing in place. Adhere 1 of the Lacy Ovals over the card base. Add ½ of the doily to the right side; cover it with the Inverted Oval #6. Layer 3 Ovals together using Dimensionals and adhere to inside of card as shown.
On the card front glue the Lacy Oval in place. Use Dimensionals to add the inverted Oval #6. Adhere 1 of the dark ovals to the front and glue the doily over it. Add your Orchids
