Today's Limited Supplies challenge was to make some kind of holiday themed card. I made this card to match the basket that I posted yesterday. I am giving the basket and card set to my twin's teacher and each of my hostesses this month will also get a set.
I loved the colors and layout that Beate used in this sweet card so I used them for mine! The sunflowers are made with the scallop circle punch. I cut the petals apart and added a 1" dotted Bella Rose dp circle to the center of each sunflower. The greenery was diecut from the little leaves die and old olive cardstock. The "Thanks" sentiment is from the Thank You Kindly set. It was stamped on scrap whisper white cardstock, punched out with the small oval punch and matted on an apricot appeal 1" circle.
I adhered the old olive mat to the larger whisper white mat and tied a length of whisper white organza ribbon around the mats. These were popped off the apricot appeal cardbase with dimensionals. I used the scor-pal to score a border and diamond-shaped pattern on a smaller chocolate chip mat. I added a pierced hole to each intersecting line and then popped this mat off the old olive mat with dimensionals. The sunflowers, foliage and layered senitment were adhered to the chocolate chip mat.
