Spotlight on Nature Thank You Card

There are so many pretty bundles in the current Annual Catalog and one of my favorites is the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature bundle. With its simple and elegant images, beautiful sentiments and wonderful circle dies, it’s so easy to make pretty cards and I’ve paired it with the pretty Country Woods designer series paper for a thank you card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Country Woods Designer Series Paper to an Early Espresso CS mat with liquid glue and attached it to the front of a Basic Beige card base.

I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature stamp set in Early Espresso ink on Basic Beige. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the eyelet circle die. I colored the flowers using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with the Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. I cut an Early Espresso CS piece with the radiating circle die and attached the floral die cut to the Early Espresso die cut.

I trimmed the left side of the layered circles and added them on the card with Dimensionals. I tied a knot with a short length of Basic Beige ribbon and adhered it to the stems with a Glue Dot. I finished the card with three Petal Pink dots.

For the inside of the card I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature stamp set in stamped off Lost Lagoon ink on a Basic White CS panel. I added a strip of DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The graceful flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature stamp set are really pretty and easy to color and the sentiments are wonderful. And the different styles of the circle dies are fabulous and perfect for layering.
