To create the background for the card, I first used the Crinkled Chalk Technique (although I used Distress Oxide Ink instead) to dab on the grass and sky using some wadded up plastic wrap. I then attached a 1 inch by 8.5 inch strip of brick wall that I had stamped using Tree Friends Multi Step Clear Stamps. The door, the topiaries, and the flowers were stamped on separate panels and cut out for mounting to the card so that the door hid the inside of this simple flip card design.
The Save the Date sentiment is from Make a Big Statement Clear Stamps while the rest of the date was computer generated.
