Layering Leaves, Spotlight on Nature, Botanical Texture, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I still have my "Botanical Texture" Designer Series Paper (DSP) sitting out (no big surprise, I rarely put things back right away!) so I thought I'd make another card that I found using it. Of course I changed it a bit but not much. You can see the original card here. Please read onto see how I made it. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cards stock and taped it to the inside.

The DSP strip on the side from the "Botanical Texture" 12" x 12" package was cut at 5-1/2" x 2". I taped it on the left side about 1/8" from the fold.

Using my "Deckled Rectangle" dies I cut the Basic Black piece and a piece of the same DSP. I used the 4th and 5th largest dies.

I took the black piece and crimped it using my paper crimping tool. I do not have the paper crimp die yet. From what I've read it's supposed to have smaller crimps. That would be fun! It's on my wish list. After crimping it I glued it in place on the front of the card at an angle. I glued the rectangle piece of DSP too.

The words came next, the are from the "Layering Leaves" (soon to be retiring) set. I stamped them using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using a die from the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle. I set them in place using Dimenisonals.

I tied a knot from some retired white ribbon and glued it to the front of the card. 

Three pearls were added to the front of the card and the card was done.

It's a little different than the original but I still like how it looks here.  It was quick and simple to make too.

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