Wonderful World, Art Gallery, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

So what's my excuse for today?  I left my scissors out!! (I leave everything out!!LOL) I was just trying to find an excuse as to why I was doing more fussy cutting!!  This flower looked simple enough to fussy cut. It didn't have all the jagged edges like the purple flowers on yesterday's card did. I thought the flower was pretty and I thought I could make a simple birthday card with it, so here's how I made it.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The layer on top is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock that I roughed up the edges using the edge of my scissors.

Next I fussy cut the flower from the "Wonderful World" Designer Series Paper (DSP) 12" x 12" package. I added Dimensionals to the back and I laid it on top of the Basic White piece I had just cut. It needed some sort of background so I took my Blending Brush and Mango Melody ink and scrubbed on some color.

Then I set the piece in my Stamparatus to see where the words would go. Since I needed a birthday card and the words from the "Art Gallery" set were perfect to go across the bottom area, I stamped them using black Memento ink.

Once the words were done I affixed the flower to the Basic White piece and then I affixed the Basic White piece to the card base and the card was done.

This was as easy as I thought it would be. It's pretty and it was quick too!

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