Dandy gardens - Happy birthday card

Hello, hello thought I'd come on quickly and share a really quick card with you all that I made for a challenge on one of my groups. The challenge was to follow a sketch and see what we came up with, and oh my I had so much fun I had to share. This is a great challenge as it uses a technique using up all of your scrap strips of paper...... so let's begin

Materials needed:

Bumble bee cardstock

1 piece - 5-7/8" x 8-1/4" score on the longside at 4-1/8" for card base

Basic white cardstock

2 pieces - 4" x 5-3/4" for the front and inside of card layers

3 pieces approx 2" x 6" for die cutting 9 daisies from

Scrap piece for the sentiment and tag to adhere to

Dandy Garden dsp

9 strips different thicknesses and heights ( I've used same paper both sides)

Dandy Garden memories & more card pack

Sticker sheet for the sentiment tag, sentiment, bumble bees and inner parts of flowers

Playing with patterns resin dots

3 x large dots for flower centres

Misty moonlight ribbon

Length approx 6-1/2" for behind the sentiment

Ladybug trinkets

3 for front of card

Medium daisy punch

Dimensionals 

Glue dots

Multipurpose liquid glue

Card Instructions

Fold and burnish the card base. Adhere the inside layer to the card.

Adhere all of the paper strips onto the other white card layer using glue, so that they all lay differently and some overlap at the front, now attach to the front of the card.

Punch out 9 daisies and glue them together in 3's giving them all a slight curve with the bone folder.

Place the stickers into the centre of each flower and add a resin dot on top.

Place the tag and sentiment onto the white card scrap piece and fussy cut around them, but leave a small border around the sentiment showing. Do the same with the bumble bees (this just enables them to look 3d on the card front rather than just stuck on flat).

Using glue dots attach the ribbon to the card front where the sentiment will be sitting. Attach the sentiment to the tag using dimensionals and the tag to the front of card also using dimensionals.

Attach the flowers and bumble bees with glue, and the ladybugs by placing a glue dot on the back. The card is finished.

Hope you enjoyed the quick card and give it a go it's a great way of using up those bits of paper you might otherwise not use, and I think it makes a lovely background to any style card.
