Thank You Card

I created this card as a thank you card for my recent retirement gifts.  The card was stamped with the Rubber Stamp Tapestry Violet Border set and Memento Elderberry and Bamboo Leaves inks.  Pearls were added to the flower centers.  The words were from My Favorite Things Pretty Poppy set.  Stickles was added to the flower petals and leaves.

Inset Die Technique

This card was created using the inset die technique.  The My Favorite Things Die-namics Vine Border was cut from green Bazzil cardstock.  The floral cardstock from Pebbles Home Grown line was attached to the red cardstock with temporary adhesive and cut with the Vine die.  The cardstock was separated and the green vine was placed between the two cardstocks.  The happy birthday words are from Stampendous.  Purple cardstock was used for the base of the card.
