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.
My Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Brushed With Beauty" 12" x 12" package. The strip on the left was cut at 1" x 4-3/4" and the floral strip was cut at 2" x 5".
The oval was cut using the die from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle. I also cut a circle using the third largest die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.
The words are also from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Mossy Meadow ink. I cut them out using the longest ribbon end die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.
I was now ready to assemble the card.
I taped the 1" strip down first. It's about 1/4" from the fold and about 3/8" from the top and bottom of the card base.
The next strip was taped in place and is about 5/8" from the fold and about 1/4" from the top and bottom edges.
The oval was taped in place about 1" from the fold, about 3/4" from the bottom and 11/16" from the top edge.
The words were set in place about 1-1/8" from the bottom edge, 1/8" from the right edge and a hair shy of 3/4" from the fold.
I had some (retired) Candy Dots that I used to add a little bit of bling. They matched the colors in the card so I thought I'd use them. One of these day's I'll have used them all up!
This was a fun card to make. I find it a bit busy looking and hindsight I think I should have cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it before adding the DSP. Maybe next time I use this layout. It is a fun layout. I used it on a card I made earlier this month. You can see that card by clicking here.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,
Wanda
