Here's the set of folders we're using this week
Our card today uses the 'diamond' pattern folder. Here's today's card...
and a bit closer....
You can see that beautiful diamond design just makes the central focus on this card pop! It adds depth as well as fun to enhance the Happy Birthday die cut. The greeting is die cut from the Old Olive Glimmer paper (another OE product--comined with Melon Mambo & White glimmer paper) using the Wanted to Say Die set. This terrific die set also included the flower and stem dies that are used on this card.
The flower center is one of the Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins (another OE product) that peps up the flower and shines!!
The designer paper on the two sides of this card are from the Flowering Zinnia DSP--these tiny zinnias are a perfect coordination with the flower we are using to focus below the greeting.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.
