I was inspired by Sharon Armstong's design in the making of my card today using the A Little Lace Stamp Set and Zany Zebras Stamp Set.
The above photo is of the finished card with Pearl Basic Jewels added to the center of one flower and on the darker DSP. The next photo shows the fun fold.
The next photo shows it flat without the embellishments, but with the decorated envelope.
My card base is Misty Moonlight cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4". I used Designer Series paper from the Boho Indigo Product Medley to decorate my folded back flap, the card front base and the inside back of the front.
I cut a Misty Moonlight mat with a die from Stitched So Sweetly. It was either the 2nd or 3rd smallest rectangle. Whichever it was, it was just a little bigger than the Rectangle Postage Punch that I used to punch out the sentiment and image from A Little Lace. I used Misty Moonlight ink for that.
I adhered a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of DSP to the outside of the folded flap. For the rest of the card front, I adhered a 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of DSP. Then I adhered the sentiment layer to the folded flap with Stampin' Dimensionals.
On the inside, I adhered another piece of DSP 2 3/4" x 5 1/4". On the 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla mat, I stamped the flower image in 2nd generation Misty Moonlight ink. "You Know Too Much" from A Little Lace is stamped full strength. The "Happy Birthday" from Zany Zebras is stamped full strength.
I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I hope you like it. I'm entering my card in these challenges:
The Paper Players PP519 Tic Tac Toe. I went down the center.
