Bloom Boutique, Floral Spray, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Playing with the new stuff is in full force! LOL Today I have a birthday 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 bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of gold foil card stock and taped it to the card base, allowing equal spacing all around.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Bloom Boutique" 12" x 12" package. I cut a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece and then trimmed it to fit the angle I wanted on the card. 

I cut the piece at an angle from the top edge mark at 3-1/2" and the bottom at 1".

The Basic White piece was cut at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" and then trimmed to fit. I cut the piece at an angle from the top edge mark at 1-5/8" from the top right corner and the bottom right corner to the 4" mark. I textured this piece using the "Floral Spray" embossing folder. 

I taped the DSP and the textured piece to the gold foil piece.

Next I stamped the words from the "Scalloped Blossoms" bundle using Pecan Pie ink. Then I cut them using a die from the "Stampin' Cut & Emboss" dies. I used the next size larger to cut the gold foil layer.

I taped the two pieces together, added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the center of the card. It looked centered enough to me, I didn't measure.  When cutting the gold foil piece, little hearts were left behind on my die cutting machine. I glued them to the word piece and the card was done.

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