I love your card. It's in my favorites now! What cardstock did you use to make the front of the card? I'm trying to branch out from Whisper White.
Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments on my swap card! This was inspired by a card by Camsmom. I ran out of ribbon so I didn't put it on my swaps. but originally there was Moss Grosgrain ribbon tied around the card on the fold-side.
Here's the recipe for those that want it:
Cardstock:
Almost Artichoke 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Confetti Cream 5" x 7 1/2"
scrap Almost Artichoke for layered circle
Ink:
Almost Artichoke
So Saffron
Basic Brown
Accessories:
1 3/8" Circle Punch
1 1/4" Circle Punch
Crystal Effects
AquaPainter
Directions:
Fold Confetti Cream in half to make your card. Take your 1 1/4"
circle punch and punch a hole in the top center of your card. Set
this aside as you will need it for layering. Then take your 1 3/8" circle punch and punch again to create a bigger hole. Use the 1 3/8" circle punch to punch a cicle of the Almost Artichoke. Now you're ready to start stamping.
Stamp the flower on the 1 1/4" Confetti Cream circle in Basic Brown. Watercolor with So Saffron and Almost Artichoke. Layer onto Almost Artichoke 1 3/8" circle. With the card closed place the layered circles into the hole you created. It will be glued to the inside of the card, but visible through the punched hole. Stamp sentiment below circle in Almost Artichoke. Place card onto the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" Almost Artichoke. Last thing is to put Crystal Effects on the flower. I save this for last so it doesn't get smeared while I'm putting the card together.
VIOLA! You're done!
