My calendar page can be found by clicking here. I had fussy cut the flowers and leaves from the "Wildflower Birthday" Designer Series Paper (DSP) 12" x 12" package. When I removed it from the calendar page the size ended up being 2-1/8" x 3". The Old Olive layer behind it measures 2-3/8" x 3-1/4". I added Dimensionals to the back and set it aside.
The base of this card is a folded half-sheet of basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Old Olive card stock for the layer. I cut the scalloped oval from the center of that layer. It's from the "Unbounded Love" bundle. I also cut a Basic White oval while I had the die out. I set the pieces aside.
Next I took a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock and I textured it using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I glued it to the Old Olive layer and then I taped that to the card base.
I stamped the words from the "Unbounded Love" bundle using black Memento ink. I stamped them on the center of the white scalloped oval. I cut the scalloped edge off the Basic White piece and taped the words to the center of the Old Olive scalloped oval piece.
The floral layered piece was set in place on the upper right side of the card and the word piece was placed below it. I was careful to only add Dimensionals to the areas that would be touching the textured layer.
And that was it, the card was done. It was such a quick and easy card to make when most of the work was already done. It's just nice to not toss the calendar page in recycling. It's like getting a calendar page and then later a fun card! I like my April page and can't wait to make a card using it. I will be on the lookout for a fun layout to make it more special.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
