Use it Up group 1

Here's the first group of individual card pictures from the groups I shared last night.

I used SC306 for the layout.  I had a small strip of the polka dot paper, and I just made a quick mat for it using a MS border punch.

Supplies for Wishing You All the Best card:
Stamps:  Verve "Great Friend" for flower (cut out and popped up using foam tape) and sentiment from Verve "Kind Words"
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
Paper:  Cream, Bazzill "Foxy" and dp from K & Co. Brenda Walton "Small Wonders Girl"
Other:  MS Vintage Floral border punch, ivory organdy ribbon from stash, Bow Easy, Nestabilities circle and petite scalloped circle dies, Recollections pearl flourish
Card size:  A2

I used the same layout for the next two cards and just changed the sentiment and the accents.  I had a bunch of thin strips from trimming full sheets that were just too big to throw away.  SC343 was the perfect layout for using up my strips.

The birthday card uses rhinestones to accent the flower's center and the feel better soon card has pearls for the accent.  For both cards, I stamped flowers in 2 sizes, trimmed them down by hand, and then mounted the smaller flower on foam tape to give it a little more dimension.  I also cut the petals apart a little bit and slightly turned the edges up for additional dimmension.
