When I've made this style of card in the past, I've always used punches. To fit the stamped flowers for this card, I had to use my Circles Collection Framelits, to get the right size circle that I wanted. I added an extra layer to the front of the card, attached with dimensionals, just to add more interest.
You can barely see it, but I scored several lines, running directly across the card front (under the circles), for added texture. The text is from my Tin of Cards stamps. I added some linen thread for the finishing touch. I even had ends long enough to tie into a cute little bow. I love how this card turned out. It's really quite simple, but the added touches really step it up. Once again, to show how the stamping world sometimes thinks a lot alike (guided by stamp images), I later found that Dawn Olchefske created a very similar card. Love it!
