Unbounded Love, Flower of Beauty, Friendship Card, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a pretty card to share with you that I found on the internet. I just love this "Wildly Flowering" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and I have plenty of it left so I thought I'd whip up this card using it. You can see the original card here. Please read on to see how it was made. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Moody Mauve. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and taped it to the inside.

On the outside I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of the DSP and taped it in place.

Using Misty Moonlight card stock I cut a 3" x 4-1/4" piece for the layer and on top of that is another piece of DSP from the same package that measured 2-3/4" x 4". I taped that to the Misty Moonlight piece and I taped the two to the center of the card. On the original card this piece opens up and the Moody Mauve piece is just a quarter sheet of card stock. I decided to make it into a regular opening card instead.

Next I stamped the words from the "Unbounded Love" bundle using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I cut them out using the scalloped oval die from the same bundle. And at the same time I cut the Basic White dotted oval piece for the inside. I glued that piece to the Crumb Cake oval. Dimensionals were added to the back and I set the piece aside.

The Basic White leafy image is from the "Flowers of Beauty". I stamped the flowers using Moody Mauve ink. I stamped off once for the inside of the flowers and then I stamped the outline image. I stamped three of them and fussy cut them. 

I cut the leaf piece from the "Unbounded Love" bundle using a scrap piece of Old Olive card stock.

To assemble the front I added a little glue to the bottom end of the large leafy piece and set it in place. Then I set the oval in place.

The I added a little glue to the left side of the oval and I set the Old Olive leaf in place. The flowers had a little bit of glue added to the back and they were set in place on the left side of the oval.

I had some retired "Glitter Enamel Dots" that matched the ink well enough so I thought I'd use them. I have so many retired elements and it's nice to start using them. You can use the current ones but you get the idea.

This was a fun card to make and I can see myself making more using this fun layout.

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