What a beautiful day it was yesterday for the first of January. Sunny and warm, spent alot of time outside in yard and we are getting all the cactus from Sue planted. So with my last few posts being focused on the garden and today spending most of the day outside,my card is also garden orientated using Bloomin' Beautiful, one of my favorite stamp sets.
The base is Whisper White 11 x 4 1/4, scored and folded at 5 1/2 to make a top fold card. A piece of Ruby Red DSP from Pattern Pack III, a level 1 hostess gift is cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and attached to the base. I used a 1 x 4 1/4 piece of Pretty In Pink and attached it close to the bottom of the DSP. For the focal image, I started with a scrap of Ruby Red cardstock and scalloped on side and then stamped on the flower and thank you from Short & Sweet. I then stamped the flower twice more onto Whisper White, colored with my blender pen and Ruby Red ink and cut one flower out and then just cut the lower petal of the second one and attached them all with dimensionals.
I find this just gives the flower so much more pop. I attached this with dimensional to the right side of the card and using glue dots attached a couple of Old Olive buttons to the band to balance it.
Happy Stamping
