Peaceful Pier, Painterly Pears, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I found a card on Pinterest that used this particular piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP).  You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how I put this card together.

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" x 5-1/4" piece of Petal Pink card stock for the layer. On top of that layer is a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of DSP from the "Painterly Pears" 12" x 12" package. I found this particular design difficult to work with and it's fantastic when I run across a card that used it.  I taped the DSP to the Petal Pink piece and then taped that to the front of the card base. I also cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside of the card.

I fussy cut the pear, stem with leaves and flowers from other pieces of DSP in the package. 

Using the third smallest arched die I cut a piece from Basic Black card stock. 

I taped the pear to the black arch. Then the stem with leaves were added. The little flowers were glued in place just under the stem. And the flower on the left side was slid under the pear. 

The piece was then taped to the the front of the card.

The words are from the "Peaceful Pier" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink. I trimmed it to measure 3/8" x 2-5/8".  I set the words in place using Dimensionals.

A few tiny pearls were added to the flowers on the pear and three were added to the DSP. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I was thrilled to have been able to use that particular sheet of DSP!

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