My friend Jan and I have swapped dies for a few days. I have her Fun Flowers die and she has my Beautiful Butterflies die. I really like the card on page 6 of the UK mini catalogue so I CASEd that design. I love how the flower and sentiment banner hang off the edges of the card. My card was made with textured Mellow Moss CS. I made it A6 size but trimmed the width of the card to 3 7/8". Because the two elements hang off the card edges I needed to use a 6" square envelope for this card.
After adding the torn patterned paper panel I stamped the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment and rounded the corners. I die cut two large and two smaller flowers and added a bit of shaping to each flower. The layers are separated by 3d glue dots so my big bloom has quite a bit of dimension. I added a button centre with 1/8" Early Espresso taffeta ribbon threaded through the buttonholes. I then made the sentiment banner and highlighted the word 'fabulous'. I stamped once in Espresso ink, again in Mellow Moss ink and I cut the Moss 'fabulous' out and I've popped it up. I tucked die cut Early Espresso leaf sprays behind the big bloom to finish the front.
