Violet Flower Swing Birthday Card

I love the Bo Bunny Double Dot papers and I've bought a few of the colours.  The papers are textured and double sided with dots on one side and a plain wash finish on the reverse side.  I keep coming across this sheet of violet paper but somehow it always makes its way back into the box and remains unused.  Anyway, this time I made myself use it!

I started off by making an Old Olive square swing card with my Flip-Its die.  I used the dotty paper for the back panel, I stamped the flower on the dotty paper too and cut it out.  I stamped the leaves on Old Olive CS and cut those out.  I placed an Old Olive button in the centre of my flower, popped the flower up onto a black mat layer and added two fancy Meridian borders.

For the back of the swing element I stamped a flower and sentiment and matted onto a black layer.  A few flowers stamped on the front of the envelope finished everything off.
