Hi Stampers!
Today's card features a technique that is oh-so-easy but has a great WOW! factor -- sanded DSP.

To make it you will need:
     
     Itty Bitty Banners stamp set
     Soft Suede and Regal Rose card stock
     Brights Designer Series Paper pack
     Regal Rose classic ink pad
     Manhattan Flower embossing folder
     Bitty Banners Framelits
     Big Shot & platform, standard cutting pads
     Sanding block
     Glue Stick, or other adhesiv
     Paper snips

 Here's what you do:
1.  Cut Soft Suede card stock 5.5" x 8.5".  Score long edge at 4.25" (card base)
2.  On a scrap of Regal rose card stock, stamp the Itty Bitty Banners greeting.
3.  Using the Big Shot, emboss the Manhattan Flower image onto a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of Regal Rose designer series paper; then cut out the stamped greeting using the Bitty Banners Framelits -- they were made for each other!
4.  Adhere flower image to card front.  Expose white core of DSP by lightly sanding the raised image. 
5. Using the snips, trim away the extra card stock on the card front along the upper edge of the roses.
6.  Adhere greeting to upper right corner of the now exposed inner card.

Voila! In just a few minutes, a thing of beauty.
Play with different color combinations to make your own beautiful card bouquet.
