This card I started with a 5 1/2"x5 1/2" folded cardbase which I cut a 5"x5" piece of patterned cardstock, inked the edges and adhered to the cardbase. 


Even though the card looks hard to put together it really isn't.  I cut the following pieces of patterned cardstocks 3 1/4"x5", 2 3/4"x5" and 2 1/4"x5" and used a decorative punch (5" side) on each piece and then measured 2 1/2" of the punched edge (the center) and cut with in a 1/2" of each piece of cardstock. I then "curled" the cut edges around a pencil and then adhered each piece on top of each other to create a pocket.


I used the Doily diecut to cut a doily from off white piece of cardstock, ink edges and then glued to cardbase and inside the "pocket".


 I cut the big leaves from the Holiday Greenery diecut on off white cardstock. I then inked with a variety of peach, tan, brown, yellow and green chalk ink. I blended the colors together and then wadded and crinkled the leaves up and then shaped the ends with my stylus. I folded down the middle and inked the center with brown ink.


The smaller leaves also come from the Holiday Greenery diecut too. I shaped those with the stylus and then I adhered all the leaves and paper flowers around the "pocket" of the card along with twine which I made a bow out of. I finished off the with a sentiment from Canvas Corp's Grateful Stamp Set and two little twigs from a tree.
If you have any questions about this card please let me know.


Now for something fun! I will be giving away a goodie bag of things (such as blank cardbases, ribbon, buttons, RN dew drops, sequins, rubber stamp, etc.) that can be used for your own projects and all you have to do is be sure to comment and also become a follower of my blog!
