Heartfelt-I Love You Center Step Card

Good morning!

Isn't this Camelia Carnation Collection beautiful??  OMGosh, I love these carnations, they look so real! 
I've made a small corsage for this center step card this morning complete with tulle. The paper is so gorgeous and paired with these beautiful borders from the Fleur Border Basics, what else do you need?

I love the eyelet hearts too!
The font on this "I Love You" is a perfect pairing for this heart.

Card size: 11” X 5/8” – Center Step card.   Cut and fold a center step card then cut a light green panel to fit each open space (except center), cut another slightly smaller light pink panel for each panel and glue to card base. Make a center panel separately- 4 ¼ X 5 3/8”.  Cover white card stock with decorative paper then die cut two pieces of white card stock with the regular curved die from Fleur Border die then emboss both panels together.  Die cut 2 scallop curved borders and glue to the bottom of each panel and glue down to the left side of the center panel on top of decorative paper.  Stamp I Love You with Rouge Chalk Ink and die cut with the heart die then die cut another white heart with the scallop heart. Use foam tape to stack hearts then foam tape to center panel on left bottom. Add pearls.
Stamp, die cut and sponge several sets of the small Camelia carnations in Rose Bud and in Mountain Rose, sponge with Angel Pink and Salmon.  Use Basic flower mold to ruffle petals and then further ruffle with fingers in a pleating type fashion. Put sets together (usually 4 or 5 for each flower), cover with crystal Clear glitter
Glue center panel onto center step card base and then glue 3 carnation to top right add leaves and white tulle.  Add tiny carnations to the bottom panel on top of white scallop border punch then add pearls between each flower.

Did you know?
The Carnation
 "Derived from from the Latin "carnis" (flesh) referring to the flower's original pinkish-hued color or "incarnacyon" (incarnation), referring to the incarnation of God-made flesh" with the birth of the baby Lord Jesus.
There are many colors but the "pink carnations carry the greatest significance, beginning with the belief that they first appeared on earth from the Virgin Mary's tears – making them the symbol of a mother's undying love".  https://www.teleflora.com/meaning-of-flowers/carnation
Luke 2:11-12 (NLT)
11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and remember the reason we celebrate Christmas!! 

Thanks for visiting today!

Wow - these are both stunning cards. I love how you have entwined the ribbon around the flowers in the second card and used embossing in the first card! Just gorgeous.
