Today I am sharing a card I made for the Global Design Project #175 the theme being ‘down the garden path’.  I also used the card as my swap for a training event I am at today, I chose to make my swaps using flower and leaf punches.

Making the card

I started by stamping the 2 large flowers from the Pop of Petals stamp set onto scrap Whisper White cardstock using Lovely Lipstick ink. I die cut the adorable doily ring from the Doily Builder set of dies using Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to a panel of Whisper White cardstock (measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”) using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I inked up the sentiment from the Hello Cupcake stamp set with Night of Navy ink and stamped it in the centre of the doily ring.

Next I punched out small flowers using some of the punches from the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack. I used Flirty Flamingo and Night of Navy cardstock. I added the small circular centres punched using the same set of punches in either Night of Navy or Daffodil Delight cardstock. I also punched out a couple of the foliage sprigs using the Sprig Punch.

I added the leaf sprigs to the doily ring with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the large Lovely Lipstick flowers with Mini Glue Dots. The smaller flowers were then added around the larger flowers with Mini Glue dots.

I added Clear Faceted Gems to the centre of the larger flowers and added Clear Wink of Stella to the centres of the smaller flowers. To finish the panel I rounded the upper left hand corner. The decorated panel was added to a Night of Navy layer and added the whole piece to a Lovely Lipstick card base.

I really like this card and it made a real change to use my punches. I hope you like it.
