The base of the 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 Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Softly Woven" embossing folder. I glued it to the card base.
Next I cut the top layers. I used Cajun Craze for the large layer. On top of that is a piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Sunflower Fields" 12" x 12" package. I taped the DSP to the Cajun Craze piece and then that was glued to the front of the card, centering it as much as I could be eyeing it.
The circle is from the "Spotlight on Nature" dies. I stamped the words from the "Radiant Sunflower" bundle using Early Espresso ink. I set it aside.
The vase was cut next from another piece of DSP in the same package. The die cuts two at a time so I cut two. I'm sure I'll find a use for the other one. I cut two stems from Mossy Meadow card stock. Then I cut the flowers from Crushed Curry card stock and the centers from Early Espresso card stock. I glued the center of the flowers on.
I added a little tape to the back of the vase and added the stems. Then I added the flowers with a little bit of tape. I turned them over and arranged them to look nice. I laid it on top of the circle to see where the words would go. I stamped the words from the "Radiant Sunflower" bundle using Early Espresso ink. Then I turned the flowers and vase back over and added glue. I set the piece in place on the circle, making sure the words weren't covered.
I added Dimensionals to the back of the circle and set it in place on the front of the card. I set the circle in place on the front of the card, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it.
A linen bow was tied and glued to the top of the vase and the card was done.
This was a pretty easy and quick card to make. I still like the textured background.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,
Wanda
