I started with a thick Basic White card base and then added a layer of Pumpkin Pie that I cut with one of the Ornate Frames dies and then embossed with the Painted Texture3D embossing folder to give it even more character.
I used the stamps from the Natural Textures stamp set. I chose Pacific Point, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay for my colors. These make for a very cheery card that is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face.
The flower was cut with the Tulip Builder punch from a scrap of Basic White and colored with Mango Melody blends. I used Granny Apple Green blends to color the leaf and then used the coordinating colors to stamp off another one of the stamps from Natural Textures to give more dimension to the flower. The flower and leaf were jazzed up with a swipe of Wink of Stella.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Pacific Point from the Beauty of Friendship set and cut out with the die from the Beautiful Trees die set.
I used the same stamp to add some interest to the inside of the card.
I hope you enjoy my project.
