Succulent Garden Card #5 Many mini Thanks

this is the 5th card in my series of Succulent Garden DSP One Sheet Wonders.

This card starts with an Old Olive card base and is topped with a piece of Succulent Garden Designer Paper cut to 4" x 5-1/4". Before gluing down wrap the designer paper piece with ribbon from the Succulent Garden in Sweet Sugarplum. I simply wrapped the ribbon around to the back and taped down. I then took a small piece of ribbon and tied t around that front strip to create a "bow".

I stamped the greeting on whisper white card stock and then cut out using the stitched shapes framelits in an oval. I then cut out a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals thinlits in Sweet Sugarplum. I backed that with an Old Olive oval also cut from the Layering Ovals. Love that these all work together seamlessly!

This is a great way to use up your scraps of card stock since they don't require much paper.

I then put them on the card using dimensionals.

Another easy peasy card!

And don't forget the inside! Since the card base is not a light color, I always add a piece of light colored card stock (in this case, white) to the inside so you can easily stamp and write on it. I usually stamp something from the front onto the inside (like a matching flower) and often a sentiment.
