Spotlight on Nature, Adventurous Sky, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I was looking at some stamped pieces on my worktable and thought I'd see if I can put a card together using them. And I did it. I love it when I can whip up a card in no time but better yet, use up things sitting on my worktable. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Shaded Spruce. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock. One was taped to the inside and the other was textured using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

Then I took a 2" x 4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Perennial Lavender" 12" x 12" package. I glued that to the bottom of the card, covering the lower part of the textured piece.

The circle with the words on was from a card I had previously made. I think I had four of them, three for sure and there was this one still sitting on my worktable. The words are from the "Adventurous Sky" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I thought I would put it together to make a card. I had a piece of DSP from the "Season of Green & Gold" 12" x 12"package. It had been cut using a die from the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle. I had cut it out for something else and didn't use it so I put it inside the case with the stamps. Many of my stamp sets have pieces in them that are stamped or actually colored and ready to use. I taped the two circles together. 

I opened the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle and inside the set was the flowers stamped and colored. What luck, huh?  So I cut the large one and was only going to use that in the center of the piece of DSP but I decided to cut the smaller one and add it too. I used Dimensionals to set them in place in the DSP circle. I remember coloring them using the light Pumpkin Pie Blends pen and the light Granny Apple Green Blends pen. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the circles and were set in place on the front of the card. And that was it, the card was done. I think it took me longer to gather the pieces and cut the card base and DSP than to put it together. It was fun to use up things that were sitting around waiting to become an artful card!

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