Eastern Blooms in an Urban Garden

Ok....no prizes for guessing how I came up for the title of this post...LOL My card was inspired by one I saw on SCS (if it's yours, please let me know and I'll give credit)

Stamp Sets: Eastern Blooms, Oval All

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Not Quite Navy

Ink: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Kiwi Kiss

Accessories: Mat Pack & Piercing Tool, Scallop Oval Punch, Gold Brads, Dazzling Diamonds, 2 way Glue Pen, Sponges, 5/8" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Kiwi Kiss, Urban Garden DSP, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Lots of layering in this card. I've written a brief description of how it's made for the benefit of Vicki who won a card kit for this card at a workshop I did for her friend Barbara last night.

I started off by piercing a row of holes down the left side of the white card and sponging Kiwi Kiss ink along the right side, then stick it to the Baja Breeze main card. Stick the strip of Urban Garden Designer Series Paper to the strips of Kiwi Kiss cardstock and pop two brads through at the bottom. Stick the white square to the Not Quite Navy square and layer it onto the patterned strip. Wrap the ribbon around and adhere at the back. Pierce a hole in the top right hand corner of the white square and place the brad. You can then stick the now assembled pieces to the main card. Cut around the 3 flowers (stamped in Baja Breeze, sponged with NQN) and dot some glue into the centers...sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds then when the glue is set, stick them into place on the card. Add the best wishes sentiment, I used dimensionals for this, and your card is complete.

Hope that helps you put your card together Vicki - if you need help, just give me a buzz :)

Have fun
