The sentiment is mounted on a mat of Rose Red cardstock and a knotted piece of silver elastic is wound around to finish the card.

Once all the stamping was done, I used the two way glue pen to add Dazzling Diamonds to the pale plum butterfly.

I used the eyelet border punch to create a border in Sage Shadow cardstock to match the ink on the stem of the flower - love how you can co-ordinate so easily with Stampin' Up!
...
Finally I did a little paper piercing on the corner using the mat and template - because I never know when to stop! LOL

Let me know what you think!

The stamp set is called Life's a Breeze and is full of summery images like these. I had always thought this was more of a scrapbooking stamp set - and I do think it would make fabulous beach layouts - but it obviously makes great cards too!

I used different elements from the stamp set - the pot of flowers, bee & bloom sentiment - on different steps of the card.

I wanted a ribbon to match so used a technique I learned from Hayley recently. You can colour ribbon using a dauber and the Stampin' Pastels. Just apply your chalk and build up to the intensity of colour you require. Of course you can do this with ink, but then it needs to dry before you can use it to prevent colour transfer - but with pastels you can colour and go!

This makes such a great project to make in a class. I am hoping everyone will enjoy creating it as much as I did!
The card is finished with a punched oval greeting, (stamp set is Oval All) and a strip of ribbon.

This card is SO fast to put together - and I love the design. Hope you do too.
