Upcycled and Snippets Notecard

I've recently won an Easter giveaway from Sarn and my gift was beautifully wrapped in some of Sarn's lovely artwork.  The paper was far too good to find its way into the recycling bin so I carefully opened the packet and used the paper to make this card.

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" cream hammer card blank
     Lil'inker Designs 'Modern Mehndi' stamps and coordinating dies
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Onyx black ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder 
     Wink of Stella
     Snippets of  cream hammer card, purple and turquoise textured card and, of course, Sarn's paper

I trimmed the cream hammer card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and cut the stitched circle from the centre.  I ironed the back of Sarn's paper with a cool iron to remove the creases, cut a square from the corner (saving the rest in my snippets drawer) and attached it to the rear of the aperture.  The panel was then attached to the front of the card.  I stamped the flower onto purple card and the leaves onto turquoise card using black ink.  These were embossed with clear embossing powder and cut with the coordinating dies.  I used a Wink of Stella to highlight the centre of the flower before attaching it to the lower corner of the card.   The leaves were then tucked under the flower around the edge of the aperture.
