A fun layout...

 

I don't recall where I saw this layout, but I wanted to give it a try.

The green layer was cut at 4" X 5.25" for my A2 card base. The floral DSP, which is the other side of the green stripe, was cut at 3 3/4" X 4 1/2". Then I cut that piece at a diagonal before adhering both pieces onto the green panel. 

I cut two circles, one out of the dark gray that is included inthe floral print, and one out of white. I stamped my sentiment, glued the white circle to the gray one and popped them both up on foam squares.

I added a portion of a leafy sprig and three pink gems for embellishment.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added the rest of the leafy sprig. I trimmed it down so that it wasn't readily apparent that it was only a part of the original die-cut.

This is a fun layout to make, and I can see it being used for all kinds of cards, even Christmas and other holiday cards. Other shapes and die-cuts could be used in place of the circle, too. 

I hope you'll give it a try.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
