The card base is standard A2: 8.5" x 11" scored and folded at 5.5". Next is a 5.25"x4" layer of the Natural Composition Specialty cardstock which comes clear embossed in a variety of patterns; this is the floral one. I then cut a strip of this gorgeous Retro Fresh DSP, cut it in half lengthwise, trimmed the scalloped ends and adhered them to the natural layer.
Next, So Saffron cardstock was cut with the 2-1/8" x 3-1/16" Oval Framelit, stamped with the Creative Elements background stamp and edges sponged with Crumb Cake.
I love this cute little bird from the Polka Dot Pieces set! He's stamped in Coastal Cabana and punched out with the coordinating punch.. so easy! A number of Petite Petals flowers were stamped in coordinating colors and added as was one In Color Boutique Embellishment. I added Dazzling Diamonds to the centers of each flower as well as the leaves and embellishment; I love the 'lift' that even a little sparkle adds to a creation!
