Calling all card-making lovers and DIY enthusiasts! If you love creating beautiful, handmade cards, you’re in for a treat. Today, we’ll be making an elegant Agapanthus card. Follow these simple steps to create a stunning card that will impress anyone who receives it.

Materials Needed

• A2 piece of white cardstock
• Agapanthus stamp
• Dye inks
• Embossing ink
• Heat embossing powder
• Heat tool
• Die-cutting machine
• Sentiment dies
• Adhesive

Step 1: Blend Your A2 Cardstock

Start by blending your A2 piece of white cardstock with dye inks. Choose your favorite colors to create a gradient effect or a soft, blended background. Use a blending tool to apply the inks evenly, ensuring a smooth transition between colors.

Step 2: Heat Emboss the Agapanthus Image

Next, take your agapanthus stamp and embossing ink. Stamp the agapanthus image onto your blended background. Sprinkle heat embossing powder over the stamped image, making sure to cover it completely. Tap off any excess powder and use a heat tool to set the embossing powder. This will give your image a raised, glossy finish.

Step 3: Color the Images with Dye Inks

Now that the image is embossed, it’s time to add some color. Use dye inks to color the embossed agapanthus image. You can use a fine brush or a sponge dauber to apply the inks carefully within the embossed lines. Blend different shades to add depth and dimension to your image.

Step 4: Heat Emboss and Die-Cut the Sentiments

Choose a sentiment to add to your card. Stamp the sentiment with embossing ink onto a piece of cardstock. Apply heat embossing powder, tap off the excess, and use a heat tool to set it. Once embossed, use a die-cutting machine and sentiment dies to cut out the sentiment.

Step 5: Assemble the Card

Finally, it’s time to put everything together. Take your blended and embossed agapanthus background and adhere it to the front of your card base. Use adhesive to attach the die-cut sentiment to the card. Make sure everything is aligned and securely attached.

And there you have it! Your beautiful Agapanthus card is complete. It’s perfect for any occasion and is sure to bring a smile to the face of whoever receives it.
