Ingredients:

Stamp sets:  Favorite Sayings (#120048)

Tropical Party (#120081) Both found in the summer mini catalog, 2010

Ink:  Old Olive (#102277), Tempting Turquoise (#100814)

Paper:  So Saffron (#), Island Oasis (#117173), Very Vanilla (#101650)

Accessories:  3/8 inch Twill Tape (#119970), Brights Brads (#119740)

Stamp the large flower from the stamp set, Tropical Party in Tempting Turquoise.  Stamp the small flower 3 times with So Saffron Ink.  Cut out all four flowers with your Paper Snips (#103579).  Fold a piece of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch So Saffron cardstock in half and crease with your bone folder (#102300).  Trim a piece of the Old Olive patterned paper from the Island Oasis designer series patterned paper pack to 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches. Trim the lattice patterned paper to 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches.  Use your snail adhesive (#104332) to adhere the two pieces together so that 1/2 inch of the lattice paper shows above the old olive pattern. Audition (put it in place without adhering) the patterned paper on the card front so you can see where to start stamping the palm fronds. Stamp in Old Olive ink the palm fronds as shown.  Layer the flowers together and insert the Old Olive brads.  Adhere the patterned papers to the bottom of the card front as shown.  Use Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) to adhere the flowers to the card as shown.  Stamp the saying in Tempting Turquoise ink as shown and tie the twill tape around the card as shown.  Tie with a square knot and trim the ends.
Now send this to a strong woman in your life whom you love and appreciate.  She'll appreciate your thoughtfulness and the time you took to make her a special card.
Till later,
Kelly
