Today I had some fun making some 5" x 7" cards
using a digital stamp from the Beccy's Place Store,
digital sentiments, also from Beccy's Place and
digital sentiments, also from Beccy's Place and
combined them with some fussy cutting and layering.
I printed the image panel on white textured cardstock, trimmed to size, matted with Apricot Weave cardstock, trimmed to 1/16" border using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered to a 5" x 7" cardstock panel, then adhered the panel to a top folding card base.
I made the card base by cutting two 5" x 7" 300gsm smooth cardstock panels,
scoring the "top back" at 3/4" then adhering the top panels together.
I printed off an extra large flower and if you look closely,
you will be able to see the subtle dimension it adds to the card.
Some days you need to do some "scissor therapy".
Although my hands were hurting, I fussy cut a large flower to go on the front of each of my four cards and it felt good to see them slightly curled in readiness for gluing. I went around the edges of each flower with my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink dual tip marker, so that no white edges were visible.
I made another card using the same sentiment
and rotating the image.
I mirrored the image and made another card
using a different sentiment.

I have entered my card in the July Challenge at Beccy's Place Challenges
I absolutely LOVE these cards Tracy, you've done a fantastic job putting them together. The clean and simple style really appeals to me, especially when done this beautifully. Great choice of cardstock for the thin frame, it coordinates perfectly with the image. Love the way you've fussy cut additional flowers too. Gorgeous!
