___________________________________________________________________

Here is the final card design from my March Best of Flowers card kit for my club.  It's a fun gate-fold card created from a piece of 5-1/2" x 8" Very Vanilla card stock, scored at 2-1/8" and 6-3/8". 

I added 2" x 5-3/8"strips of Tea For Two Designer Series Paper to each front panel to create a pretty patterned background.

The Ovals Collection Framelits were used to make the focal point.  I stamped the Best of Flowers bouquet images in Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla, then centered the oval die to cut.  It's layered on a So Saffron oval that's a couple sizes bigger and pierced with the help of the Occasions Piercing Pack.

I colored the images with Markers in coordinating colors: So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Tangerine Tango and Lucky Limeade. 

I thought the Calypso Coral Baker's Twine bow added just the right touch.  It's adhered with a dab of Multipurpose Glue.

The Oh, Hello sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso on scrap Very Vanilla, then punched out with the Curly Label Punch.  I adhered it to the right front panel with Dimensionals, slightly overlapping the oval embellishment as a way to keep it closed. 

You know me…I had to do two cool versions (one to keep, one to give), but it wasn't much different than the first.  I colored the flowers with more Bashful Blue this time, changed the sentiment to one from Bloomin' Marvelous (retired), and added the bow to the sentiment.
