Tropical Chic Circles Thank You Card

This is a card I made for a card challenge set by Dena Rekow at the Creativity Cave.  Dena asked us to make a card using the following elements:

• 1/2 sheet CS to form the card base
• 3 /4" x 5 1/2" CS
• 1 1/4" x 5 1/2" CS
• 3 x 1 1/4" squares or circles

 I adjusted the measurements to an appropriate size for UK sized cards and used patterned paper in place of the 1 1/4" x 5 1/2" CS piece.  My colour combo is Melon Mambo, Shaded Spruce, Granny Apple Green and Whisper White and I love the bright vivid colours!  I stamped and die cut the flowers, leaf and circles and then spent time playing around with the placement of the elements until I was happy.  The stitched shape circles are all popped up. After I'd stamped the sentiment on the Granny Apple Green piece I added a narrow strip of Shaded Spruce CS to add a little something extra.  To finish the front I added small rhinestone jewels to the flowers and a large jewel to the narrow Shaded Spruce strip.

 

Here's the inside of the card and the envelope.
