Hi Stampers! Today I finished up what I consider a totally hot, girly birthday card and it has a surprise sneak peek from the new catalogue that's "just for you".
Have I captured your interest yet? I hope so because the card I'm about to share with you was fairly sizzling while I photographed it. The marriage of Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey make me think of sunshine, beaches, tropical nights, fiestas and sangria.
Here's My Card:

| Lovely Lace EF Item Number 13337 retires June 2nd, 2015 |
Note: Items marked with (*) in supplies list have previously retired and are not available.
 |
| I stamped the Calypso Coral cardstock with the I Love Lace background stamp before punching out the flowers with the various sized scallop punches noted above. |
Assembly:
- The card base was cut from an 81/2 x 11 piece of Whisper White Card stock and scored at 4 1/4".
- The next layer of Lost Lagoon card stock measures 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".
- The Hello Honey layer which measures 4" x 5 1/4" was embossed with the Lovely Lace Texturized Embossing Folder.
- The next layer which measures 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" was one of the left over pieces of watercoloured backgrounds that I made for the Wacky Watercooler Challenge and I discussed here. I embossed this piece with the Lovely Lace Texturized Embossing Folder too.
- A 5" strip of Lost Lagoon Taffeta Ribbon* was adhered to the center of the layer with sticky strip. I love this ribbon it's simply gorgeous. I grabbed a few of these before they retired, because I know I'm going to use this ribbon a lot.
- The flower is comprised of four layers of scallops. After stamping and punching out the scallops I crumpled them up into little balls to break up the paper fiber and then I sponged the outer edges of each scallop layer with Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral to give the layers some additional texture and interest.
- The flower layers were assembled with large glue dots, and a flower embellishment was added to the center.
- Two scraps of white tulle were adhered below the flower to add some sparkle and also the small leaves in Lost Lagoon were sponged and then adhered to the sides of the flower.
- The sentiment "for you" was die cut in Lost Lagoon with one of the framelits in the Occasions Mini Treat Bag Framelit Die set.

| Mini Treat Bag Framelit Die ......... lots of extra great dies in this set. |
 |
| I used scraps of the water coloured background design and lost lagoon to form a band on the left hand side of the card's interior. |
