I found a fun card on the net that used the "Tasteful Background" dies. I couldn't get the words to work on the card so I turned it 180 degrees and I had room to work. You can see the original card here.
The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Coastal Cabana card stock. On top of that is a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Whisper White card stock that I die cut with the "Tasteful Background" die and then textured with the "Subtle" embossing folder. Once you use that folder your paper becomes very flimsy. So when I attached it to the card base I used a lot of Dimensionals.
I stamped the daisy using the small daisy image "Daisy Lane" set on Whisper White card stock using Coastal Cabana ink. I punched it out using the medium daisy punch. I made two and taped them together in the center. Then I curled the ends using my bone folder. And then I put the flower in the palm of my hand and pressed the center using the top end of my "Fine Tip" glue bottle. A pencil will work too. This made the center concave and let the leaves curl more naturally.
I punched out two Pear Pizzazz leaves using the "Leaf" punch. I cut the ends off and then taped them in place under the flower petals.

The words are from the "Wonderful Moments" set. I stamped them using black Memento ink. I punched them out using the "Classic Label" punch. I set them in place using Dimensionals.
I added a medium size gold Faceted Gem to the center of the flower and a few gold sequins around the card front.
This was a very fun card to make. If I were to make another one, I think I would center the die cut more. But this worked out and I'm happy with what I'm seeing!
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
