Supplies used for this card are : White Card stock, Pink Card stock, Dots and Stripes paper pack, Big Z Top Note 4 x 5 inch die cut, and double-sided permanent adhesives. The stamp set that was used for the flowers, leaves, and sentiment is from the Petals from scratch clear stamp set.

For the dots around the border of the Pink card stock, I used a Stampin' Up paper piercing tool.

Live Today...

Live today...Remember it tomorrow

# 326-2014-07

I decided to be a little different with this card. I used framelits Labels Collection and red card stock for the shape of the card. I scored the left side of the front piece and then glued it to the back piece so it would open like a regular card. Then I cut out a smaller size of the labels framelit using white card stock to use as the background. I also used a scalloped circle using red card stock with a circle attached to it using white card stock. I also used a scalloped border punch, a flower punch, red ribbon, 1 red brad, and dimensional flowers and butterfly to make this card complete with the sentiment.
