The base of my 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 3-1/2" x 4" piece of Basic White for the layer.
Then the DSP strips were cut at 1" x 3-3/4". I kept them in order as I cut them so I didn't have to play "let's put the puzzle pieces back together!". I often have to do that when I cut a bunch at one time. I taped these strips to the Basic White layer. Dimensionals were added to the back and they were set in place on the front of the card. I centered it and lined it up so there was equal spacing on the top and bottom and then the sides.
Next I stamped the words from the "Labeled with Love" bundle using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them using a die from the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back. I set this piece in place in the upper left corner of the striped layer.
I took some ribbon (retired) I had in my stash, tied a bow and glued it in place on the circle.
The butterflies are from the "Sketched Butterflies" bundle and were cut from a piece of Basic White card stock. I added small Dimensionals to the large butterflies and a piece of a Dimensional to the smaller center butterfly. I set them in place on the front of the card.
I found some rhinestones in my drawer and I affixed them to the butterflies. And that was it, the card was done.
I do like how it turned out and I'm looking forward to making other cards using this layout. I can see using leaves or snowflakes or even a character in that space where the butterflies are, along with complimenting DSP. Can you see that?
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
Such a pretty card; one that is not so difficult to CASE. Thank you, Wendy!
