Extraordinary Flora, Peaceful Pier, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. Please read on to see how it was made. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/4" x 2" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the flora image in the "Glass Gardens" embossing folder set. I glued it to the front of the card about 1" from the top. 

Using the "Extraordinary Flora" washi tap, I affixed the pink flowers to a 3-1/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock. Then I cut them out using the matching die. I had to cut two because of the roses on the sides. You only get one per set. But that's okay the other pieces will be used for future cards and the best part is they will already be cut out!

Before adding the flowers I stamped the words. They are from the "Peaceful Pier" set and were stamped using black Memento ink.

I started with the middle rose. I set it in place with Dimensionals. Actually, all of the pieces were set in place with Dimensionals except for the greenery. Next I added the two pieces on each side of the center rose. Then the twin rose buds were set in place. And the greenery was added last using glue. I did have to lift up a flower or two to get the greenery under it but I didn't press down firmly when I set them in place so the Dimensional hadn't stuck all the way. 

A linen bow was tied and then glued in place.  And that was it. I love the look of this card. It's got a clean and fresh feel to it. Plus I LOVE the tiny print on the wording.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,
