Spotlight on patterned paper: Hello card

Hello,

This card is the fourth installment in my series featuring patterned paper.  I have to apologize for not posting yesterday,  there was a party the night before and you can probably guess the rest.  I don't often make cards that are just to say hello, so I thought I'd shake things up a bit and create one.

Spotlight on patterned paper: Hello Card

Materials:

• White card (Trophee, 240gsm, white linen), patterned paper, yellow paper
• Flower nesting dies (Couture creations, Daisy)
• Circle nesting dies (Couture creations)
• Alphabet stamps (Cre8tiv)
• Red (Rosie's studio) and gold (Martha Stewart) ink
• Blue ribbon

Directions:

1. Create a top folding card base from the white card.  Cut the patterned paper to leave a small border of white.  Using the nesting dies, cut a flower from the yellow paper and a circle from some white card.
2. Stamp 'hello' with the red ink onto the circle.  Sponge the edge of the circle with red ink.  For the flower, sponge the gold ink around the edge.
3. Adhere the blue ribbon to the patterned piece with some double sided tape and then adhere the circle to the flower and the flower to the ribbon.  Adhere the panel to the card base.

It is a very simple card which could be easily massed produced and the sentiment changed to reflect many different occasions.  That's it for today's post, see you next time!
