The Sweetest Flower

 Good Sunday morning!  I found this lovely little card in one of my files and thought it deserved a day on the blog as it is so sweet!  I selected a polka dot patterned paper from my stash and covered it with a piece of sticky self adhesive sheet.   I peeled off the backing paper and micro beaded it for a lovely textural look.  Using the Scalloped Borders Two, I cut two using one of the decorative inserts and cutting edge.  I cut the bottom of each piece straight and mounted them on either side of a Tied Together embossed strip. I added 5mm flat back pearls to the embossed piece.   Using the Justrite Nested Cloud dies, I cut a small and large frame out of coconut white card and put them together with mounting foam.  I cut another frame out of black card to use as a shadow.  I cut the black frame in half and mounted it just peeking out of the top and bottom.  I stamped my sentiment from the Justrite Welcome Spring set using a black Archival ink pad.  Using a Tattered Rose distress ink pad, I added a light bit of shading around the sentiment.  I mounted the frames on foam then added them over the sentiment.  I seated the frame in the centre of the borders.  Using the  Layered Scallop Posy die (Heartfelt Creations), I cut some of the small flowers out of white felt and added a small pearl to the centre.  I scattered the flowers across the card diagonally.  I finished the card with a double white mat with a pierced edge on the inner mat.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size.
