Layered With Kindness meets Parisian Beauty

                    Hi folks and welcome to my haven in a hectic world

Happiest of birthday's to Sheilah.

For this card, I picked out the stamp set I wanted to use along with petal pink card stock, then decided to find some designer series paper that would match up.
All measurements are in inches.

Petal Pink 4¾  x 6¾  (1st layer), 2¼  x 2¼  (sentiment), 1 x 3 (flower heads), Shimmery White 10 x 7 scored at 5 (card base) , 2 ¼ x 1  (sentiment).
DSP 2½ x 6¾  (2nd layer).

(cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (ef) = embossing folder, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set.
  • Lightly mark the 1st layer down the middle using a pencil.
  • Now stamp the leaves from the layered with kindness (ss) twice at the bottom of the lefthand side in pool party, 
  • Stamp 3 of the larger flower heads and 2 of the buds in petal pink on petal pink (cs). Fussy cut these flowers and put to one side for now.
  • Emboss the lefthand side using the subtle (ef). This needs to be carried out using two passes though the big shot. Remove the pencil mark.
  • Adhere the parisian blossoms (dsp) down the right hand side using liquid glue.
  • Using narrow tear & tape adhere some (r) calypso coral ombre ribbon down the middle of the card along the (dsp) edge.
  • Stamp the happy birthday sentiment from the layered with kindness (ss) in petal pink  on petal pink (cs) and then again, pool party on shimmery white (cs).
  • Cut out the petal pink happy birthday using the label me lovely punch and the pool party happy birthday using the label me fancy punch.
  • Cut a piece of the (r) calypso coral ombre ribbon about 10 inches long.
  • Add some tear & tape or snail at the back of the petal pink sentiment and zig zag the ribbon back and fourth across  the adhesive. Then trim the ends.
  • Attach the shimmery white sentiment on top of the petal pink sentiment using dimensional pads.
  • Add dimensional pads to the back of the petal pink sentiment and attach to the card base.
  • Use glue dots to adhere the flower head to the leaves.
  • Job done!
I found this a very quick and easy card to make.

Will be back again soon with more cards, thanks for popping by.
