Swirly Thanks!

I was inspired by a design by Edna Marie, but my design is more elaborate and has more layers. This card combines the Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits that you can purchase in a bundle and save 10%. The design aspects of my card that are hard to see in the photo is I used some retired glimmer tape from Sale-A-Bration earlier this year that the Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon was put on top of, white sequins, and rhinestone jewels in the flower centers. On the large swirls, I used the retired 2-way glue pen to add Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the top of the swirls. The "thanks!" stamp was from a very old set, so I would recommend using the new set called Thankful Thoughts which has a similar stamp to this one.

Swirly Scribbles Sympathy Card

This is an original design by me. I started with Blushing Bride cardstock as a base, but dry embossed with the retired Decorative Dots folder for just 1" on the edge. Luckily you can run that embossing folder through your Big Shot sideways and it will fit!  

Next I combined Island Indigo cardstock and the Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper off centered. Rich Razzleberry cardstock was cut with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlit to form a wreath. 

I used the Triple Banner Punch with a 1" piece of Whisper White cardstock to make the pennant. The edge was sponged with Blushing Bride ink. The greeting is from a retired stamp set called Simply Sketched stamped in Island Indigo ink. 

I cut out 5 little leaves with the leaf die from the above mentioned thinlit set with Mint Macaron cardstock. The 3 flowers were stamped with the Petite Petals set on 1) Blushing Bride cardstock with Blushing Bride ink, 2) Rich Razzleberry cardstock with Rich Razzleberry ink, and 3) a combo of Blushing Bride cardstock and Rich Razzleberry ink. Then the 3 flowers were punched out with the Petite Petals punch. Pearl Jewels were added to finish this elegant card.
