I made this 'Thank You' card for a friend who has gifted me some craft magazine and books. I thought this Sizzix stamp would be perfect as she likes spring flowers and yellow is her favourite colour.

To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white matt card blank
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly' dies
Sizzix 'Floral Hello' stamp and coordinating die
Clearly Besotted 'Fall Flowers' sentiment stamp
Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Promarkers
Wink of Stella
Snippets of white, brown and yellow matt card
I used brown ink to stamp the flowers onto a snippet of white matt card. I embossed them with clear embossing powder before cutting them with the coordinating die. I used a ywllow Promarker for the flowers, bright green for the flower centres and a darker green for the leaves. I die cut a stitched circle from a snippet of white matt card and put it into my MISTI before placing the flowers onto the circle so I could see where to position the sentiment. I then removed the flowers and stamped the sentiment with brown ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder. The circle was attached to the centre of the card blank and the flowers attached to the upper edge with foam pads. I die cut two tiny butterflies, one from yellow and one from brown matt card. These were layered with the yellow butterfly on top and attached above the sentiment.
