With the eucalyptus leaf stamp and Pool Party ink, stamp two columns of images on the card base right front side.

Cut the next Pool Party Cardstock layer 3-1/4" x 4-1/4"

Also cut two pieces of Basic White Cardstock - front layer 3" x 4" and inner layer 4" x 5-1/4"

Again with the Pool Party ink, stamp the greeting and plant images shown on the card front. On the inner card layer stamp two bee images in the lower right corner, then adhere that layer inside of card.

Adhere the two smaller front layers together, then raise up with Dimensionals at a slant on the card front.

Thread an 8" piece of 1/8" wide ribbon through the top circle of the Open Leaf Trinket charm. Tie a bow, trim tails as needed. Use two glue dots to affix to card front as shown.

Add three sparkly embellishments of your choice.

Cut a coordinating piece of Designer Series Paper 2-3/8" x 6" and adhere to the exterior of the envelope flap. Trim off excess with your paper snips.

Sharing Creativity Now Event Splendid Day Suite Card 4

Sorry if I sound like I am complaining in today's blog post, but Card 4 of mine is a mish-mash of items and hardly looks anything like the sample. The biggest reason is I have misplaced my container of white embossing powder in my craft room somewhere. That is very frustrating because I don't like not knowing where something is. The container isn't small either it is about 6" x 8" x 2" so that is why I'm so bugged about not being able to find it. I'll keep hunting. Hopefully it will surprise me soon!

But in the meantime, I resorted to using some retired Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Powder and that wasn't a great decision either. You know glitter goes everywhere! I have figured out to use a super sticky tape roller to keep the little sparkles under control, but a few escape anyway!

I had an extra white leafy die cut from Card 2 that I used in this card.

Overall, this particular card isn't something I would make normally. It just seems so messy to me. What do you think? I'd love to know in the comments.
