Today's card was made for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge (CCMC 787) but the square I created was too big for the card front.  Lesson learned. I really liked the panel I made so I finished it for today's post.

Card Base-Basic Gray CS 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 5-1/2".

Basic Black CS-3-1/2" square cut out a frame using a Stylish Shapes die (measure 2-3/4").

Very Vanilla CS- I cut a 4" x 4"piece with the Gorgeous Garden die and the cut it down to adhere to the Black frame.

Vellum CS- 3-1/4" square.

Very Vanilla CS- 5 flowers from the Tw0-Tone Flora set and lots of leaves all cut using the Two-Tone Flora dies.  Sentiment banner cut using the Stylish Shapes dies.

The only tricky part was sandwiching the Gorgeous Garden cut out between the frame and the vellum and it really wasn't very tricky at all.  The sentiment is from the Fruitful Blessings set.  The pretty little sparkle is one of the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.

Inside I added another flower and leaves.  The flowers were all stamped in Real Red ink.  The outlines were stamped full strength and the bold portion was inked and stamped off once to obtain the lighter color.
