The colors I used on this card are Highland Heather (card stock)and Mint Macaron (ink and small card stock embellishments.) The Designer Series paper is from the 6 x 6 "Best Dressed" paper pack - in the January - June mini catalog.
Below is a side view - so you can see how it stands up. The basic card is easy to make - and it folds up to fit into a regular Medium envelope. This card took a little more work to die cut the cross and then glue it back into the "negative" space.
Below is a photo of the back of the card and the matching envelope. (No Naked Envelopes) I like to write a note instead of stamping a greeting on my cards. Wouldn't YOU rather see someone's handwriting - knowing they were "speaking "directly to you when writing the message?!
How to make this card: (all measurements are inches)
Card Base (Highland Heather) is cut at 4 1/4 x 8; score at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 5 1/2, 6 3/4
Highland Heather strip: 1 x 5 1/2
Whisper Whiter: you will need two pieces, 2 3/4 x 4 ( 1 piece for the stamped leave/cross and 1 for the back of the card)
The Designer Series Paper strips are 1 x 4 (you will need two of them)
The large ovals are cut using the Stitched Shaped dies (white/stamped piece) and Layering Ovals Dies (Highland Heather)
The small white oval is also cut from the Stitched Shapes dies ("Easter Blessings" is from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set.)
The butterfly and "greens" behind the small oval are cut using the Well Written dies.
I added some rhinestones as a finishing touch
