Simply Zinnia, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another thinking of you card to share with you. I found it at the same place as yesterday's card. I was at that blog and I lingered! There's some nice and fun cards there. You can see the original card here. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. 

A 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Melon Mambo card stock. It was taped to the front of the card. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Flowering Zinnias" 12" x 12" package. I taped that to the Melon Mambo piece.

The green leafy image was cut next. It's from the same "Flowering Zinnias" package and measures 3-1/2" x 2-3/4". I taped that to the left side of the card. I eyed it so it was equal on the top, left and bottom.

The flowers are from the same package of DSP and was cut at 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" and the Mossy Meadow card stock was cut at 2-5/8" x 2-5/8". I taped the DSP to the Mossy Meadow piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card. It's pretty much centered on the card. 

The words are from the "Simply Zinnia" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink on a piece of Melon Mambo card stock. I tried to get it as straight as I could on the card stock because I trimmed it after. Sometime I will cut the piece first and then stamp, one way is just as difficult to do as the other. After cutting my piece measures 5/8" x 3-5/8".  I added Dimensionals to the left end and tape to the other end.

I added some sequins I had to the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very fun and easy card to make. It's a great way to use up some more of "Flowering Zinnias" DSP.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,
Wanda
