Splendid Thoughts Bundle Card #3

Hello, stamping friends, here is today's card #3 using the Splendid Thoughts Bundle.  I hope you have enjoyed the other two cards and look what we are doing with those left-over die cut pieces from our first card.   We are going to use those negative pieces as frames to highlight some die cut pieces.  I've added a bit of heat embossing, fussy cutting the sentiment and a couple gems. 

Another great way to use the FREE Sale-a-bration Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards and envelopes.  Below are measurements and step by step instructions.


Stampin' Up!

Measurements:
5" x 3-3/4" Vellum
2-1/2" x 1-1/2" DSP negative frames (4)


Instructions:
1.  Die cut 3 open leaf images from scraps of Designer Series Paper (DSP).
2.  Using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, layer the negative frames from card #1 onto vellum layer.

4.  Stamp sentiment using Versamark ink, heat emboss with white embossing powder.  Fussy cut around sentiment and adhere to front of card using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
