Unbounded Love, Botanical Texture, Unbounded Love, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a monochromatic card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

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

I cut two 4" x 5-1/4"pieces of Basic White card stock. One I taped to the inside and the other I textured using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. This is one of my go to folders. It works for male or female cards. I glued it to the front of the card.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Botanical Texture" 12" x 12" package. I cut it at 3-1/2" x 2". My thought while cutting it was, "you'll never use up that package cutting pieces this small."  LOL I cut a Basic Black layer that measured 3-3/4" x 2-1/4". I taped the DSP to the Basic Black piece.  I glued this to the card base about 1/4" from the top, left, and bottom edge. 

Next I cut a Basic White piece that measured 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" and I stamped the words from the "Unbounded Love" bundle using black Memento ink.  I taped it to a 4" x 3" piece of Basic Black. 

The floral/fern die is from the "Textured Floral" bundle and was cut using Basic Black card stock. I glued it to the Basic White piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place 3/8" from the right side and about 5/8" from the top and bottom. I usually just eye it.

I colored some enamel dots using my Basic Black Blends pen and affixed them to the bottom left of the greetings layer. And the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I hope to make more cards using the "Botanical Texture" DSP and hopefully larger pieces! LOL

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