Have A Magical Day

Hello bloggers!  I selected aqua card for my background colour for today's offering.  I used the Starflower Flourish die and cut it four times out of white card.  I covered the aqua card with a sticky adheisve sheet, peeled the backing paper off and laid the four die cuts vrtically on to the sticky sheet.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to fill in the exposed adhesive.  Next I usef the Double Stictched Rectangles to cut it into three pieces.  I glued the outermost section flat to a piece of white card.  I used mounting foam on the next section to raise it, then added it to the background.  I added twice the amount of the mounting foam to the inside rectangle to raise it up so it stairstepped up from the outside and middle rectangle and added it to the centre of the card.  I stamped the Jasmine stamps onto Powder Pink card and cut them out with the matching Jasmine dies, enough to make three different sized flowers.  I added them in opposite corners and used Magnolia Corner cut in white as accents around them.  I cut the Have A Magical Day out of pink and black card.  I used the black as a shadow behind the pink cut and then glued it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white and aqua mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now.
