The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set.  I also used By The Bay Designer Series Paper and Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper.

I started with a Basic White card base adding a panel of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I matted another piece of the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper onto a piece of By The Bay Designer Series Paper.  I adhered the panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A larger piece of the By The Bay Designer Series Paper is adhered over the matted panel.

I am entering the Try Stampin’  Or Not on Tuesday.

I stamped the thistle images from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set in Memento Black ink on a piece of thick Basic White card stock.  I colored the thistle using Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers,  The thistle is cropped using a die from the Beautiful Thistle Dies.   Sprigs are also cropped from Basic White card stock using a die from Sunflowers Dies. The thistle and sprigs are arranged around the By The Bay Designer Series Paper panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

A greeting is stamped in Orchid Oasis ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock. A White Twine bow is made using the White Twine from Baker’s Twine Essential Pack.  The bow is adhered to the card front over the bottom of the thistle using a glue dot.  The greeting is popped over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls are popped around the card front.

A panel of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper is adhered to the inside of the card base.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set is stamped in Orchid Oasis ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cut and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Panel.  A Basic White card stock piece is cropped using a die from Layering Diorama Dies.  It is adhered to the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Panel also.  A strip of By The Bay Designer Series Paper is adhered a the bottom of the panel.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Dainty Flowers & By The Bay Designer Series Paper added to the envelope flap.
