How I Created The Card:

To create this card, I first stamped the flowers and sentiment with the ink colors listed above,  Make sure you stamp the inside panel and envelope to coordinate the entire project.

I then adhered the DSP and stamped panel onto the Basic Black panel, making sure I had about an 1/8 of an inch in-between the two panels.  I wrapped around the Glittered Organdy Ribbon, securing on the backside of the panel with Stampin' Seal +.  Next, I added five Stampin' Dimensionals and adhered the panel to the card base.  The sentiment is popped up with more Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added the two die cut flowers adhering with Liquid Glue.  The inside panel is adhered with Stampin' Seal and I finished the card off by embellishing with Polished Dots, which come from the new Mini catalog!

I made a total of 20 card for a team card swap that I am in.  I hope everyone likes the card as much as I do.
