The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Blackberry Bliss 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 taped it to the inside.
Next I cut a 1-3/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper from the "Floral Charm" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the left side of the card leaving a 1/4" border around the top, bottom and fold.
I took a piece of Petunia Pop card stock and textured it using the "Damask Design" embossing folder. I cut it to measure 2-1/4" x 5-1/4". I glued it to the right side of the card.
A 1/4" piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock was cut for the strip that covered where the DSP and textured card stock met.
The die cut flowers are from the "Pretty Florals" bundle using Bubble Bath card stock. I sponged a little Blackberry Bliss ink on the edges. Then I glued on the Mossy Meadow ends to each flower. I also cut out the leaves using Mossy Meadow card stock.
A 2" x 2-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the focal piece. Towards the bottom of it I stamped the words from the "Peaceful Pier" set using Mossy Meadow ink.
I cut a 2-1/4" x 3" piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock for the layer. I taped the two pieces together. Then I added the flowers. I added tape to the largest one and set it in place, I didn't press down on it right away. Then the flower on the right was added. The smallest flower was added using Dimensionals. A tiny amount of glue was added to the stems that I cut off from a larger branch and they were tucked under the flowers. Once they were under the flowers I pressed down on them to secure them and to also hold the leaves down better.
Dimenisonals were added to the back of the focal piece and it was set in place on the center of the card. I eyed it, but it's about 1-1/4" from the top and bottom edge and about 1" from each side. And that was it, the card was done.
I like how it turned out. I mostly like the colors.
