Hi, Friends,
It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood today, also a busy one. They have delivered the cabinets to two houses, sheet rock to a third house, and are prepping the house across the street to finish painting. I love all the activity (maybe except when there is annoying noise for a long period of time).
Anyway, today I have another project to share with you. I couldn’t get to sleep the other night and got up and started messing with this card, but, as simple as it is, I didn’t get it finished until yesterday. I just kept playing with it and moving things around until I liked it! Here is my project:
I LOVE the various combinations of the Designer Series Paper in the Ornate Garden Suite, and really like the DSP combo in this card.

HOW I MADE THE CARD:
1. Using scoreboard, score Crumb Cake card base at 4-1/4. Fold card base and burnish using bone folder.
2. Stamp the signature stamp on the back of the card base using Memento Black ink.
3. Use Memento Black ink to stamp the small flower stamp on the lower right corner of the inside panel. Color using markers.
4. Adhere inside cardstock panels together. Adhere to inside of card base.
5. Adhere DSP panels to Old Olive cardstock.
6. Cut rectangle from scrap of Terracotta Tile cardstock using die from Ornate Layers Dies and Big Shot. Adhere to seam of Designer Series Paper.
7. Adhere panel to front of card base.
8. Stamp sentiment using Terracotta Tile ink onto scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Cut out using Stitched Shapes Dies and Big Shot.
9. Use Layering Circles Dies to cut scalloped circle from scrap of Old Olive cardstock.
10. Adhere stamped circle onto Old Olive scalloped circle. Attach to front of card base using dimensionals.
11. Cut small leaves from scraps of Old Olive cardstock scrap using Birthday Dies and Big Shot. Adhere behind sentiment circle using Glue Dots.
12. Add Gilded Gems to either side of the Terracotta Tile rectangle die cut. See sample for placement.
Here is what the inside of the card looks like:
