HD Floral Shimmer - Finishing

After completing the last Hunkydory Floral Shimmer set yesterday, I discovered I still had some bits and pieces of AS from the kit, so decided to finish them up.  I made 3 more cards using these bits with items from my stash.

Card #1 (above): You can see the first card at the top of this post.  This card just used a little bit of the AS for the focal - cut as you see here and matted on a silver die cut (Spellbinders Decorative Labels One).  Below that I added a sentiment I got from an HD Little Book of Essential Gretings and a couple of silver die cut leaf stems (from Card Making Magic's Ultimate Number and Overlay set of dies).

Inside:

A scrap of AS & a narrow strip of silver card stock form a border on the inside of this A2 sized card.

Card #2:

I had a couple of corners of AS, so put them on opposite corners of the card stock as you see here.  I created a focal by die cutting an oval from a little book page (Creative Dies Designs Stitched Ovals dies) and cut a frame from silver card stock using the same die set.  The sentiment is from a Hunkdory Little Book of Essential Greetings.

Inside:

The Little Book page scraps (from die cutting the focal for the front) makes a nice frame for the inside of the card.  As you can see, I matted this with a narrow silver border.

Card #3:

I had a couple of scraps of AS left - which I decided to use on the inside of the card - so I went looking for a little book page to coordinate with them.  I found this one and used it as I found it.  I cut a mat from turquoise card stock and die cut the greeting from more card stock ("with" die from Piece by Piece die set that I got in a card making magazine; "Thanks" die was from Divinity Designs Thanks for Everything Stamp & Die Duo).

Inside:

I added the border AS scraps and scraps of the turquoise card stock.
