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 1" x 5-1/2" strip of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Perennial Lavender" 12" x 12" package. A 3/8" x 5-1/2" piece of Lost Lagoon was cut for the strip.
A 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock was cut and then textured using the "Layered Florals" embossing folder to texture the piece. I glued that piece to the front of the card. Then I glued the DSP to the left side. The Lost Lagoon strip was glued in place. I set the piece aside to dry a bit.
Next I stamped the flowers from the "Printed Lavender" set using Highland Heather on the larger piece and Gorgeous Grape on the detailed piece. I cut them out using the matching die. At the same time I die cut the leaves behind the flowers using a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock.
I added a little bit of glue behind the leaves piece and set it in place at a slight angle. The original card had it set on the card pretty much straight up. I wanted to see more of the leaves than just the tips. The lavender flowers were glued down next.
A double bow was tied using linen thread and set down on the front of the card with a glue dot.
The words are from the "Throughout the Year" set using Gorgeous Grape ink. I used the second smallest die from the "Countryside Corners" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.
I colored some retired "Polished Dots" using my dark Highland Heather Blends pen. I set them in place on the front of the card and the card was done.
This was such a sweet looking card. Can you see why I had to make one?
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
