I created my papers using a variety of distress ink colors since I didn't have design paper in the colors I wanted to use.

My card base is 4-3/4" x 6-1/2".  I created a few layers topped off with the pretty distress ink paper.  This was topped with the Concentric Circles Mesh Border die that I ran down the middle.

I then cut the flower pieces and shaped them a bit with a stylus and foam pad to create some dimension.  I then assembled the flower layers and attached the flower to the upper center portion of the card.  I stamped my sentiment and cut with one of the dies from the Tags 1 set, layered it on teal cardstock and tucked it under the flower.

My card was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using two of the ribbons from the April Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope I've inspired you to pull out one of your flower dies and create a pretty floral Spring themed card.  Happy crafting!

I used the Concentric Circles Mesh Border die to create my background.  These border dies can do double duty and create beautiful backgrounds too!  I cut the die twice and then overlapped a bit matching the pattern.  Then I carefully cut down the center of the overlap which creates a perfect seam to join them together.  If you look really hard you can see the join at the bottom right below the center rose.  You would not have seen it though if I didn't tell you to look.  

My bow was made with grape and regal purple Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It was created on my Bow-it-All Tool.

Hello Cheery Lynn friends, Karen Here sharing this shabby card with you today!

Let's start by using the Fiona's Magic Mirror die for the base of the card, 

and then use the Card Maker Rectangle Classic right on top using

the polka-dot designer papers!  You'll notice that the embossing of the

Fiona's Magic Mirror really stands out, and here is how I did this...

Die cut on ivory card stock, then use some Black Soot Distress Stain.

Right away, you'll notice how the stain only stays on the 

top and not in the recessed pieces of the die!

Then, I die cut the Concentric Circles Mesh piece 

twice from ivory card stock,  and only used a portion of it!

I distress inked both pieces, to match the flower, and then layered 

one piece right on top of the other!  I used pop dots underneath

to raise it from the bottom framed piece.

Lastly, I created this distressed big flower using the leaf from

the Build a Flower #1. and the flower from the Judy's Blooms die!

To finish, I took the  Pierced Banners, and also distress inked it!

Then, I stamped the sentiment and cut it up, and placed onto

the banner to mimic a film strip effect!
