I received the new CTMH Wishes card book and just had to re-create the first card in this amazing book that really stood out to me -- Enchanting Enclosure. I changed the color combo for a boy and changed the part that wraps around. I just made it to attach to the front and glued it down. I made the larger one 6x6 and the smaller one 5x5. I followed the tip on how to make the background paper by using the polka dot background stamp and clear embossing it. Then I sponged the ink (Heavely Blue and Chocolate) all over the card, making the white polka dots stand out. For the little 3x3 card, I used the Mini Combination pattern. For this one I used Crystal Blue ink over the embossed polka dots. I stamped the flowers from Thank You, then clear embossed them before stamping over the flowers again with Bamboo ink, offsetting it a little.
