The black etching on the petals and leaves definitely pulls the onlookers attention. Thoughts?

First, I adhered the Favored Flowers DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte.

I then took the ribbon and tied a knot in the center of it. I wrapped it around the panel and secured it on the back with a couple of glue dots. I also used a glue dot under the knot to keep it in place.

Next, I adhered the panel onto the Petal Pink card front.

I then stamped the sentiment on a strip of Basic White, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I used the Washi Label Punch on one end of the strip to add a bit of interest.

I then adhered the sentiment on the bottom portion of the card front, as shown above.

Lastly, I added a pearl to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Favored Birthday

This is a wonderful layout for smaller panels of designer series paper. Just like everyone else, you probably start with a 12 x 12 sheet, or maybe a 6 x 6 sheet. Either way, once you cut your panels to fit an A-2 size card, you find that there seems to be a few scraps that you just hate to throw away. After all, this paper can be quite expensive. Just create a matte for these left-over panels and arrange them on a card front. Add a sentiment, some embellishments and mail it away. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Waves of Inspiration

Paper:

   Blackberry Bliss A-2, 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 (2)

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

   Mossy Meadow 5-1/4 x 4

   Favored Flowers DSP 2 x 3-1/2

Ink:

   Blackberry Bliss

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Waves Dies

   Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I embossed the Mossy Meadow panel, using the Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder.

I then adhered it to the Basic White panel, and then onto the Blackberry Bliss card front.

Next, I adhered the two DSP panels onto two Blackberry Bliss mattes.

I then arranged them onto the card front and adhered them with liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I stamped, die cut, and adhered the sentiment to the center of the card, using dimensionals. I also adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
