For anybody who looked at the card I uploaded 2 cards ago....you'll see I'm using my brilliant higher mathematics again....lol.
I used my MS PATP on the top layer. I punched it out twice using using SU Always Artichoke CS and Bazzill Pear, which is the closest thing I've found to Mellow Moss since SU discontinued it. I cut them each on an angle and flipped one of the sides. I taped them together on the backside then stamped with Flourishes Cherry Branch, embossed in gold and coloured with an SU Always Artichoke marker.
I topped it off with flowers I created using a Heartfelt Creations flower die.
I didn't put a sentiment on the front, but this is a graduation card for my granddaughter, who is graduating from high school in a couple of weeks. I haven't decided what I'm going to say on the inside yet....something special from Grandma and Grandpa!!
TFL!

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!, Jo. Love the positive/negative on the diagonal....so eye-catching. Your punching, bg embossing,and beautiful flowers all add up to a sensational card. The gold embossing adds another layer of elegance.
I loved Mellow Moss too(right after Sage Shadow)....loved these "off" colors.

Gorgeous! I really like how you manipulated your punches to fit each other. Very clever lady! Congrats to your granddaughter but if you don't mind me saying... you're too young to be having a granddaughter graduate from high school!
