Congrats, Kathy! Your gallery is just fabulous and I always enjoy visiting. I picked This to case. I kept the layout but I made mine a bday instead of Christmas, used different images and moved the ribbon.
The flowers were stamped on w/c paper, colored w/ markers and cut out. I attached them to a white Spellbinders Mega Oval die cut and used the Curvy Borders technique w/ the Banner Basics 2 die cuts to frame it. I also used a technique from the Technique Junkies Dec 2011 newsletter called Curvy Borders for the black layer around the flowers. The black polka dots were black embossed down the side of the next panel and I added a red polka dot ribbon across the middle before attaching another of the Banner die cuts behind the right side. The sentiment is a partial of a much longer image and I used a SAMJ to position the words before black embossing and die cutting w/ a Spellbinders circle. The red button was dotted using a black Permapaque marker and the finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
