Guess what this cute, pup’s name is! It’s Petals, an appropriate name for a dog who loves romping beside the Pansy Patch. Notice I said “beside,” because she doesn’t want to smash the pretty flowers.
The first thing I did was stamp Petals in Early Espresso Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and color her with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I cut her free, and placed her on Dimensionals. Doesn’t she look pleased?

Petals
Petals requested a comfortable resting place, so I used two Layering Circles Dies to cut two circles. The plain circle is from Basic White Cardstock, and the scalloped circle is from Evening Evergreen Cardstock. I glued the circles together, and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder for texture.Â
Beneath the circle is a strip of Pansy Petals Designer Paper, cut with an Ornate Layers Die. This is glued on top of a gingham layer (4″ X 5 1/4″) in Soft Succulent, also Pansy Petals Designer Paper.
The card base is Evening Evergreen, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. We found the perfect, little, “thank you” in the Love Of Leaves Stamp Set, which I stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink.
After attaching the circle and Petals the pup with Dimensionals, I thought our card was complete, but I was mistaken. She said she wanted her personal card to be included, so I stamped the envelope in Evening Evergreen, and place it next to her. I didn’t see the inside, but she has green ink on her paws, so I can guess what it says.
I was inspired by Fusion.
