Such a Good Friend with Memory Box

Hello and welcome!  I'm up on the Memory Box blog today with this plaid mini slimline card for a dear friend.  I used a lot of different products today to create this card.  

First of all I used the "Nested Globes" die set - 94532 to do some partial die-cutting.  I ran card stock through my die cutting machine with the bottom cutting line of the globe hanging off the edge of the cutting plates so it wouldn't cut through the paper.  Then I measured how long I wanted the oval panel to be to fit on my card front, and turned the die around the other way, again with the bottom flat side cutting line hanging off the edge of my cutting plates.  This created my pretty oval shape for the focal point of my card and sentiment placement.

The leaves were actually made with the Pinpoint Leaf Plate 94381.  I took white card stock and ran it through my die cutting machine with the pinpoint die, then added Distress Oxide Mermaid Lagoon ink direct from the pad on to the paper.  That left little tiny white dots where all the pinpoints were.  Next, I fussy cut out a few of the leaves and added them around the edges of my oval panel.  I also cut a black mat in the same globe shape to help offset the white from the plaid a little better.  

Here's a closer look at my card:

The paper for the main background on the card came from the Madris Blue and Purple Plaid paper pad PP1014.  I used the Layered Star Flower dies 94612, to cut my flower from peach, pink and orange Vintage Pastel Mirror Card Stock FP1002, and added a Pastel Jewels to the center of the flower and scattered on the front of the card.  

The sentiment is from the Friends and Family stamp set CL5276, stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.  

Here's one last look at my card:
