Close to My Heart Candlelight Garden Thanks Bunches

I made this card for a swap in which I am participating.  It was a "roll the dice" swap to determine the basics of your card.  I rolled Pink, Mint Green and Pale Yellow for the colors.  I rolled for "stamping" image only.  I rolled for embellishment washi tape and finally for theme I rolled "Thank You".  I was pressed to find a place for the washi although I had plenty of pretty matching colors.  I decided to place it behind the sentiment so it would show up on the white.

Last month I participated in the see through swap and still had the acetate handy.  I actually used left over pieces from that swap for this swap.  I had several remnants that were just perfect for the jars.  I did have to use a new sheet for the flowers. But that made it easy to stickle since they were all together and I could set one piece aside to dry.

I used two of the ODBD stitched rectangles to create the frame.  I was left with the inside stitched pink mat and another frame outside.  I have so many of them, I will have to design cards using those pieces now.

My flowers were inspired by a card I received in the see through swap last month.  This was made by Marcy, she doesn't have a blog or I would link it.  I have been swapping with her for a least a year and she does great work!

Here are my flowers.  Since my colors were pastels, I didn't go with the same sunflower but hers is lovely.

I am just in love with my new word dies, I purchased some Sizzix and some Impression Obsession sets.  I love them all!
