With more love . . .

  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

combined them with some fussy cutting and layering.

No, you're not seeing things, this is my fourth card today.  It's the same image as the third one shared earlier, except I have mirrored then rotated the image, used a different sentiment and made a top folding landscape card.

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.

   

And here is a pic of the card I mentioned earlier (3rd for the day).  The image is mirrored, then rotated and the same sentiment used.

And here it is compared to my second card, the images are

mirrored and different sentiments used.
