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 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Brushed with Beauty" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card base.
Next I cut a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Very Vanilla card stock for the large layer.
Two strips of DSP were added to the Very Vanilla piece. They measure 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" and the other measures 3-1/2" x 1". I taped them in place about 1/2" from the top and two sides of the piece.
I cut a 3/8" x 3-7/8" strip of DSP that matched the large background piece and taped it over the strips about 2" up from the bottom.
Next I stamped the words. They are from "The Right Words" set and were stamped using black Memento ink.
The piece was then taped to the front of the card.
I stamped the flowers next from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle. I used Petal Pink for the base of the flowers and Calypso Coral for the outline. Daffodil Delight was colored in the center using a Blends pen. I cut them out using the matching dies.
I also cut the leaves from the same dies using Mossy Meadow card stock.
Dimensionals were added to the back of the large flower. I pressed the smaller flower to the larger flower so a Dimensional would hold it in place. I did the same for the leaves. Tape was added to the back of the leaves and the smaller flower and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.
This was a super quick and easy card to make. I didn't add any bling because it is going in the mail and I didn't want to spend any extra on postage. Postage is getting SO expensive so I have to cut corners where I can.
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,
Wanda
