Fragrant Layers, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I found it on Pinterest. I researched the name and found the link. You can see the original card by clicking here. I thought it was such a pretty stained glass looking card that I just had to make one. Please read on to see how the card was made. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Highland Heather card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather card stock was cut and then textured using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. I taped it to the front of the card base.

Next I die cut the Basic Black framed piece using the die in the "Fragrant Layers" bundle. A piece of doubles sided sticky sheet was added to the Basic Black card stock that I had cut at 2-5/8" x 3-5/8". I wanted to make this into a sticker so it would be easier to work with.

A piece of vellum was cut at just a hair less than 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" and attached to the back of the Basic Black frame. 

On the backside of the vellum image, I colored in the areas using Blends pens. I used dark Granny Apple Green for the leaves. For the small flowers I used light Highland Heather and for the large flowers I used dark Highland Heather.

The Basic White layer was cut at 3" x 4" and the Basic Black layer was attached to it. 

Using Lemon Lolly card stock and the small flower die, I cut three flowers for the centers of the three larger flowers on the framed piece. I set them in place using glue. 

The layered piece was taped to the front of the card about 3/8" from the top edge and 5/8" from the side edges.  

The words were done on my computer. I cut them out using the stitched ribbon die from the "Stylish Shapes" set and affixed them to the front of the card using Dimensionals. I had those word pieces all cut out and sitting on my worktable. I thought I should use them up before they get ruined. 

I took some black baker's twine and cut it at 14". I folded it in half and tied a bow.  The bow was glued to the bottom corner of the frame and the card was done.

I love the stained glass look and I was thrilled that I could make this card. It's SO pretty in real life!

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