Impressions Abloom, Painterly Pears, Fully Flowering Ephemera, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thank you card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

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 Soft Sea Foam card stock and textured it using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card base.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Painterly Pears" 12" x 12" package. The piece on the left measures 1x 4-3/4" and the piece behind the oval measures 2" x 5".  I glued those in place on the front of the card. The strip on the left is about 1/2" from the fold and 3/8" from the top and bottom. The larger piece of DSP is about 7/8" from the fold and 1/4" from the top and bottom edge. 

The oval is from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle was cut on a piece of Basic White card stock. Before stamping the words on it, I popped out the flower and leaves from the "Fully Flowering" ephemera package and laid them over the oval for placement. Once I set them were I thought they looked best I stamped the words. 

The words are from "The Right Words" set and were stamped using Mossy Meadow ink. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card about 1/4" from the right edge and about 3/4" from the top and bottom edge.  

The flowers and leaves were added next. Dimensionals were added to the back of the flower piece and it was set in place on the oval The leaves piece was cut so three leaves are exposed on the top and bottom. I added a bit of glue to the ends of the leaves and slipped them under the flower piece.

I took some retired "Candy Dots" and added them to the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun layout to play with. I made myself a copier paper sample for future reference. I think I will be using this layout more in the near future. I've had a look at the stamps in the new spring mini and I think some of them will work in this layout!

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