This card, made for the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches #537, uses the new stamp set "Happiness Abounds" , its coordinating dies " Blossoming Happiness" as well ad the Hues of Happiness DSP. In addition, I use the Gorgeous grape glossy dots as accents.
2. Adhere a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Hues of Happiness DSP (tiny x's in multiple colors) to card front.
3. Make the desired shape of the art piece. On both of the 4" side of the 4 by 3 3/4" piece of Basic White card stock make a faint pencil mark at 2 1/2". On the bottom, make a faint pencil mark at 2 1/2" from the left side. Use the paper trimmer to cut from the 2 1/2" mark on the bottom to the 2 1/2" mark on both of the sides.
4. Emboss the shaped Basic White art piece using the Gingham embossing folder
5. Adhere the embossed Basic White art piece to the front of the DSP centering it at the top end.
6. Notch a 1/4 by 3 1/2" of Gorgeous Grape card stock at both ends and adhere it to the lower part of the art piece.
7. Die cut 2 flowers from the Hues of Happiness DSP - a large one and a smaller one- as well as a pair of leaves , and a cluster of leaves.
8. Adhere the larger of the two flowers over this notched strip using dimensionals. Tuck the smaller flower under the larger one and adhere with tombo glue. Tuck the leaves under the flowers as shown in the picture.
9. A bow made with Gorgeous Grape organza ribbon is added below the flowers
10 To finish the card, Three Gorgeous Grape glossy dots are added randomly to the card front .
11. DSP is added to the flap of the envelope to coordinate with the card.
