The base of my 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" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. Then I turned it over and made 8 score lines starting at the 1" mark on my scoring board. I scored every 1/8". I added glue to the back and set the piece in place on the front of the card.
Using Granny Apple Green card stock I cut the stem from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle. Using the same bundle I cut two flowers using Lemon Lolly card stock and for the center of the flowers I cut them using Basic White card stock. I took my blending brush and scrubbed on some Pecan Pie ink. I thought Pecan Pie card stock would be too dark.
Before gluing the flower centers in place I took another blending brush and scrubbed on some Daffodil Delight ink to the center of the flowers. Leaving them plain made them look washed out. The centers were glued in place and a little Wink of Stella was added to them.
I glued the stems in place starting with the bottom of the stem on the 6th score line about 1" up from the bottom edge of the card and the left stem is about 1" from the fold. Once that was glued in place I glued one flower in place and the other was set in place using a Dimensional.
The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I found this in the stamp container. I must have had extras. It was die cut too. The die is from the "Heart Shaped" set from the Sale-a-Brations earlier in the year. I set the words in place using Dimensionals.
I thought about adding some embellishments but I opted to just leave it clean and simple.
This was a fun card to make and I love how quickly it went together.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
