The theme this week at Heart 2 Heart is "Tool Time" - we are encouraging you to use either Thin Cuts or Embossing Folders on your project (or both). As an aside, when I hear "Tool Time", I think of Tim, the Tool-Man Taylor from Home Improvement... I loved that show!
I chose to create a Centre Step Card for my project. It is so very easy to do with just a few simple cut and score lines. The instructions can be found at Splitcoast Stampers in the Tutorials section.
For the side sections, I just used Pixie and Sea Glass ink and blended the sections together as best as I could. I like the way they turned out. I used an embossing folder and two sets of Thin Cuts on my card. The flowers are from a retired Stamp of the Month stamp set and I used the full cluster plus sections of it cut out for smaller groups.
The post below shows a close up of the flowers - the shimmer doesn't show up in the main photo...

Alyson, this is beautiful...love all the sparklies and so many thin cuts clustered together...love it all. Is this considered an easel card? I tried making one this weekend and modifying a cricut image to accomodate and ran out of patience.
So pretty...nice job using an assortment of tools!
Gorgeous card, Alyson! I love the bright color combination and of course all that sparkle and glitter!
