Nature Themed Card with Rhonda

Happy Monday to you! Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

I created a nature themed card for you today with a variety of our pretty dies. It was a lot of fun to create as these dies are all just so gorgeous!

I began with an A2 card base in kraft cardstock. The first simple layer was cut and then stitched down. My first die is a Horizon Rectangle Boutique Stacker in medium, cut apart. Then I cut the largest Horizon Fishtail Banner to layer over and disguise the gap. Next I placed the Swedish Spring Oval Frame in horizontal orientation.

I created a lacy flower using three cuts of the Dainty Bows, then layered it on top of a Sophie's Heart Mini. A few Rose Leaves were tucked under as well as an Ivy Corner Flourish to anchor the left corner of my design. Another cut of the Ivy Corner Flourish was used to vine into the Ornamental Gate. 

A bit of random string adhered to the back of the birdhouse and a few birds from Tiny Things with Wings finished the elements. I added a few stick pins and a small bow to finish the card.
