First, thank you very much to everyone who has sent an e-mail, sent a card, or posted a comment to my blog wishing me well after my surgery. I really appreciate all the good thoughts and well wishes. I'm doing pretty well. I just get really tired still, so I'm trying to take it slow and easy. It's hard for me to do though since I like to be active and have so much I need and want to do! I'm trying to be good though!
Today's card is actually a fairly easy one using several of our punches. I got the cool idea for the banner mosaic background from another Demonstrator. Enjoy!

Directions
1) Cut a piece of Tempting Turquoise Card Stock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" using the Paper Cutter.
2) Score the card stock along the 8 1/2" side at 4 1/4" using the Scoring Blade on the Paper Cutter. Fold in half to make card.
3) Cut a piece of Whisper White Card Stock to 2 11/16 x 3 3/4".
4) Use the Petite Pennants Builder Punch to punch about 5 smooth sided triangles from each of the following scraps of card stock - Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight.
5) Use SNAIL to adhere the triangles in an alternating pattern to the piece of white card stock. The flat bottoms of some of the triangles should be lined up with the top and bottom edges of the white rectangle.
6) Use Paper Snips to cut off the excess card stock on the left and right edges of the white rectangle.
7) Adhere a piece of Tempting Turquoise 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon to the middle of the mosaic pattern so it hides the seam between the top and bottom row of triangles.
8) Cut two strips of Old Olive Card Stock to 1 x 3 3/4".
9) Use the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch to punch along the long edge of both strips of olive card stock.
10) Adhere the punched strips of olive card stock to the back of the mosaic pattern so just one side of the dotted ribbon pattern shows on the top and bottom.
11) Adhere the mosaic pattern to the top of the turquoise card about 1/2" from the top.
12) Stamp the sentiment in Old Olive Ink just below the mosaic pattern about 3/4" from the left side.
13) Use the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch to punch a scrap of Daffodil Delight Card Stock.
14) Use the 1-3/4" Circle Punch to punch a scrap of Real Red Card Stock.
15) Adhere the red circle to the center of the daffodil scallop circle.
16) Stamp the waffle cone triangle image in Tempting Turquoise Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Card Stock.
17) Use the Petite Pennants Builder Punch to punch out the triangle.
18) Adhere the punched out triangle to the center of the red circle at a slight angle.
19) Stamp the asterisk flower image in Old Olive Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Card Stock.
20) Without reinking the asterisk flower image, stamp it again several times over the first image. Rotate the image just a tiny bit each time.
21) Use the scallop flower punch in the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to punch out the green asterisk flower image.
22) Cut a small piece of Stampin' Dimensionals from the edge of a sheet of Dimensionals and use it to adhere the flower image to the top of the triangle.
23) Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the scallop circle to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom right corner of the mosaic pattern.
24) Tie small pieces of the four colors of 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon to the piece of turquoise ribbon on the left side of the mosaic pattern. Trim the ends with Craft Scissors.
