Strawberries Card

Materials:

Blue cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½ - fold in half to make your card base (I used a Williamsburg blue cardstock)
Navy blue cardstock 5 ¼ x 4
Light brown (cafĂ© colored) cardstock- Bazzill – 5 x 3 ¾, another piece
Domestic Goddess Miss Manners – 4 ¾ x 3 ½
Domestic Goddess Tags (It s a sheet of tags.  What you see on the card is actually a tag that I used and matted.  You can however choose a piece of the patterned paper and do the following:
a.       Cut a rectangle 2 ½ x 3
b.      Cut ONE corner off
c.       Place that cut off corner on top of another corner
d.      Cut a second corner off the exact same size
e.       Cut the other two corners in the same way
f.        This way you have the exact same cut off corners and they match!  Easy, huh?
Two paper flowers and two brads

Directions:
  1. Layer the navy carstock piece to your base card.
  2. Layer the light brown cardstock to the navy piece/card
  3. Layer the patterned paper to your card.
  4. Take your cut piece of pattern paper (with the corners cut off) and attach this to another piece of light brown cardstock.
  5. Cut around the light brown cardstock so that about 1/8-1/16 inch is showing.
  6. Take a small hole punch and punch two holes in the top left of this matted piece.
  7. Place a brad through a flower and through the hole in the piece and attach.  Do the same for the second flower.
  8. Use mounting tape on the back of the piece and then attach to your card as shown above.
  9. The picture doesn’t show it but I used ILLUMINATE (new from Smooch) and colored in the silverware on the attached piece.  It gave it a nice silvery look.
