First, I stamped the sentiment on the Daffodil Delight piece and die cut it, using the Wildflower Designs Dies.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Calypso Coral card front.

I then attached the sentiment die cut in the center of the card, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I randomly added some rhinestones to the card front, placed a gem on each side of the sentiment, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Birthday Picture

Card front panels are sometimes included in a designer series paper pack. This one was perfect for this sentiment. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Picture Perfect Birthday

Paper:

   Rococo Rose A-2

   Pressed Petals DSP 5-1/2 x 4-1/4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment in the center of the Pressed Petals DSP wreath, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then adhered the DSP panel to a Rococo Rose card front. I chose to cover the entire card front with the DSP panel, but if you would like a Rococo Rose frame around the panel, you can cut it down to 5-1/4 x 4. In order to keep the wreath in the center, cut 1/8 off from each side.

Next, I added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the center of the flowers.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Embellishment Passion

I decided to spotlight some of my embellishments on my card front. Too much? What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Special Someone

Paper:

   Orchid Opulence A-2, 1-1/4" Circle

   Elegant Eggplant 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-1/4" Circle (2)

   Bashful Blue 1-1/4" Circle

   Real Red 1-1/4" Circle

   So Saffron 1-1/4" Circle

   Petal Passion DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Elegant Eggplant

Technique:

   CAS

   Punching

Accessories:

   1-1/4" Circle Punch

   Gold Holly Leaves

   Glitter Star Ornaments

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Petal Passion DSP panel onto an Elegant Eggplant matte and then onto the Orchid Opulence card front.

I then punched 1-1/4" circles from scraps of Elegant Eggplant, Orchid Opulence, Bashful Blue, Real Red, and So Saffron. Note that there are two circles of Elegant Eggplant.

Next, I stamped a flower on the So Saffron circle, using Elegant Eggplant. I found an embellishment to go on each circle. I made sure the colors were the same as the circles or I used a neutral color. Each circle used a different embellishment. You can use whatever you have on hand. 

I then adhered each circle to the card front, and then added the embellishment I had chosen for it. I used glue dots or adhesive, depending on what was needed. Only the Glitter Star Ornament was attached with dimensionals. 

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

A Little Sassy

Here's one to let everyone know that you are a team player, as long as they follow your lead. At times, there is no other way, so why not make them smile a bit. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   A Little Snarky by Sweet 'n Sassy

Paper:

   Pumpkin Pie A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 2-3/4 x 3/4

   Masterfully Made DSP 1-3/4 x 5-1/4

   Color Me Irresistible SDSP 2-1/4 x 5-1/4

   Melon Mambo Strip 5-1/4 x 1/8

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Pecan Pie

Watercolor Pencils:

   Real Red

Technique:

   Blending Brush

   Coloring - Watercolor

   Fussy Cutting

Accessories:

   Blending Brush

   Blender Pen

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the young female image.  I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and used watercolor pencils to color her. I then went over the image with a blender pen to blend the color and remove any harsh lines. Lastly, I fussy cut around her and set her aside.

I then took the panel of Color Me Irresistible Specialty DSP and added Pecan Pie ink, using a blending brush. This specialty paper has an embossed-resist wooden pattern to it. So, after adding color, I wiped it down with a paper towel and removed the ink from the embossed lines. 

Next, I adhered this panel onto a Basic White panel aligning the left edge as well as the top and bottom. 

I then added the Masterfully Made DSP panel on the right side, aligning the right edge along with the top and bottom.

Next, I added the 1/8" strip of Melon Mambo on top of the seam to conceal it.

I then adhered this panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Pumpkin Pie card front.

Next, I attached the young female image on the left side of the card, using dimensionals.

I then stamped a sentiment on the strip of Basic White, and adhered it below the image, but aligning the left edge with the edge of the embossed panel.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
