The Misty Moonlight spotted strip of DSP is a great way to highlight the sentiment on this card. Thoughts?

Cherry Blossom Fan

A single cherry blossom branch is quite elegant. I added a pearl at the center of each blossom for an extra glance. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Cherry Blossom

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Kraft A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap

   Textured/Embossed Pink DSP 1-3/4 x 5-1/4

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Copic Markers - Personal Choice

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Classic Label Punch

   Clear Glitter Ribbon 6"

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Tacky Tape

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the Cherry Blossom Branch on the top of a Basic White panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then colored it with my choice of Copic Markers.

Next, I adhered the pink embossed paper at the bottom of the panel. I think this paper is a sheet from a Martha Stewart Collection that I had in my stash.

I then added a strip of the clear glitter ribbon to hide the seam and give the card a bit of glimmer.

Next, I stamped and punched the sentiment, using the Classic Label Punch. I attached it to the bottom of the card front, using dimensionals.

I then added Basic Pearl Jewels to the center of the blossoms and to the sentiment label.

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

Retired Butterfly

When you create an unusual background, you can do just about anything to dress it up for the recipient. I added a fluttering butterfly to mine. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, Scrap, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Tempting Turquoise 5-1/4 x 4, Scrap

   Color Me Irrisistibly DSP 5 x 3-3/4

Ink:

   Baked Brown Sugar

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

   Sponge Brayer

Accessories:

   Butterfly Thinlits Dies

   Classic Label Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I added ink to the Color Me Irrisistibly DSP. I used a sponge brayer to apply some Baked Brown Sugar to the panel. This is an emboss-resist specialty paper. So, all I have to do is add the ink. I then wiped it down with a paper towel to allow the embossing to come through. 

*If you do not have this specialty paper then simply create your own: heat emboss a panel with white embossing powder. Then apply ink to the background and wipe down with a paper towel.

I then adhered the panel onto a Tempting Turquoise panel and then onto a Basic White card front.

Next, I stamped and punched a sentiment, using Teeny Tiny Wishes, the Classic Label Punch, and Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then die cut a Tempting Turquoise butterfly and attached it with glue dots. 

Next, I attached the sentiment to the top left of the butterfly, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the butterfly and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Springtime Thinking

Create your own background, using scraps of leftover ribbon. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Swirls & Curls Verses

Paper:

   Daffodil Delight A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Pool Party

Technique:

   Sponging

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Scraps of Ribbon

   Butterfly Thinlits Dies

   Beautiful Wings Embossilits

   Lattice Die

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Spray Adhesive

   Classic Label Punch

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I sprayed a Basic White panel with adhesive. Note - I did this outside in my driveway. Please read labels carefully.

I then used a ribbon that was wider than the others for the diagonal center of the panel. I placed it as shown above. It is the lime green with polka dots.

Next, I added the striped ribbon on each side of this one.

I then placed the dark blue polka dot one on each side, followed by a yellow and then a light blue. 

Next, I repeated the pattern, until the card front was full.

I then flipped the panel and cut off all of the ends of the ribbon to make it flush with the Basic White panel.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Daffodil Delight card front.

I then grabbed leftover die cuts from my stash. I did list all of the dies and punches that they came from in case you want to make your own. 

Next, I stamped, punched, and sponged the sentiment. I attached it, using dimensionals.

I then arranged the pieces on the card and attached them with glue dots, dimensionals, or adhesive.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones, pearls, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

At the end, I thought it was a bit busy. So, I may just create a ribbon background with maybe a butterfly die cut and a sentiment.
