bohemian birthday and a bit of cheering up...

I picked up the 8"x8" Bohemian paper pad by Graphic 45 when I was in the States back in September and scraplifted this different fold style from a card I saw on Pinterest which I just spent an hour looking for again... lol.  My card is a smaller version (4.5" tall) of the one by Roni of Ink Stains (6" tall) and at the time I didn't realize there was a tutorial and played my way to getting the same look.  The paper is so funky I decided to distress all of the edges of the cardstock (120 lb weight from Michaels).   I also fussy cut duplicates of the flowers to pop on top for added dimension.  It didn't want to close up so I attached ribbon to keep it together. 

 

 

This card is one of two that I made at a crop I went to last month.  One of the challenges was to use at least one of the patterned papers we were given.  Except for the cardstock and some bling, this is all made with one 12"x"12 piece of paper.  The sentiment is perfect as it is a very cheerful card!!  scrap happy...
