Blooming Wave...the Long and Short of It!

I used the pretty new Simon Says Stamp Blooming Wave die to make a few cards! This border die is soooo pretty...it needs nothing besides a sentiment!! On the first one, I used the die as is, and made a card with the full border...

Below, I show you how I made the card with a part of the border die...I did the same for this first card. I layered each of rhe flowers 3 times, the leaves twice. I added some white Tonic Crystal drops in various sizes throughout the border. I stamped a sentiment from the Thoughtful Messages stamp set with versamark and white embossed. Here's a close up...

I then took and shortened the border, using only the middle section...

This is how I did it. I die cut the border, then cut it into a strip, lightly adhered it to the card and used it as a template to place and adhere the flowers and leaves...

I layered these as well and used a smaller sentiment, from Bouquet of Thanks stamp set. Here's a close up...

The third one, I did the same as the second one, this time on black, with a rainbow of flowers( you know me and rainbows!!)...

I used some green Tonic Crystal drops for this border, and I used the new My Favorite Things striped paper for the bottom of this last card( you ALSO KNOW I LOVE striped strips!!!!)...this was so much fun!!!! Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
