Large all occasion cards featuring decorative paper, borders, sanded white core cardstock, foil and a layered flower

 I am still working on large cards for donation and using paper donated to me by my sister who is in serious paper destashing mode.   You can check out another set of cards here & here.  For these I used a deep aqua paper with yellow floral accents and a very lightly textured yellow one.  I added the dark aqua first and then the yellow borders.  On the left hand one I used the eyelet border punch on both edges (SU) and I used my pattern tracing wheel on the small strip on my second one.  I used large rectangles of the light aqua white core cardstock on both and embossed the first with a distressed lines embossing folder (CB) and the second with the D'vine Swirl embossing folder (CB) and I rounded the corners on it as well.  I added short pieces of coordinating ribbon to the foil layer on the first card and rounded the corners on the one on my second card. The flowers were created using a large red Sizzix die that has four different layers.  I embossed all the layers once they were cut and then layered and glued them together.  Once I had added them to the foil layer with double sided tape they still needed a "bit of something" so I dug through my leaf punchies stash and found these that worked really well and that was certainly better!!!  Fun to change up the orientation!!          Therese
