Bloom by Bloom Friend

I made this card for a recent swap, and I like the design.  You start with a card base, and cut a piece of designer series paper 4" x 5 1/4"...I guess you could even go 4" x 5"...  Tack it down at a jaunty angle, and cut off what's hanging over the edges.  Simple, but cool!

Then add some interest pieces.  I stamped one of the greetings from the Meant to Be bundle, and punched it out with the Pretty Label punch. 

I cut maybe a 3" piece of the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" ribbon, from the All My Love ribbon combo pack - folded it in half, stapled it on itself, and trimmed the ends.  That is glue dotted to the back of the Pretty Label punched piece, and all of it popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Whew!

Finally, I stamped the flower and leaves and hand-cut them.  Attach to the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals and Glue dots.  

I added one little rhinestone to the flower to finish the card.

I hope you enjoy it!  I've used this design before, and will do so again - I love it's quirky crookedness.
