Fragrant Layers, With You In Mind, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. What peaked my interest was the wording. I have that stamp and have hardly used it so I thought I'd pull it off the shelf and play with it. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how the card was made. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock, it opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Night of Navy card stock for the largest layer. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) used here is from the "True Blue Florals" 12" x 12" package.  It measures 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" and was taped to the Night of Navy piece. Then I taped that to the front of the card base.

The Basic White focal piece was cut at 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" and was stamped using an image from the "Fragrant Layers". I stamped it using black Memento ink and then I colored it using my Blends pens. I used both light and dark Balmy Blue, light and dark Old Olive and light Lemon Lolly. 

I cut a piece of vellum at 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" and using Versa Mark ink with the "Happy Birthday" image from the "With You In Mind" set. I sprinkled black embossing powder on top and heat set it. 

A piece of Night of Navy card stock was cut for the top layer, it measures 3-5/8" x 2-5/8".  

I had to think about how I was going to attach the vellum piece because tape usually shows so I ended up taking a chance and using a piece of a double sided adhesive sheet.  I set the cut sheet on the backside of the vellum piece and then set the piece on top of the stamped and colored image. Tape was added to the back of the focal piece and it was set in place on the Night of Navy layer. Dimensionals were added to the back of the piece and was set in place on the front of the card. I centered it as much as I could by eyeing it. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I was glad I took a chance on using the adhesive sheet on the vellum. I think it turned out well. And I was happy that I got to use the "With You In Mind" set. I think I've used it before but not very much!  I have a few more cards I'd like to make using this layout with the vellum.

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