Instructions

BASE CARD

Cut a piece of green cardstock, measuring 4 1/4" x 11", score at 5 1/2", and fold.

SENTIMENT

Cut/emboss a ribbon tag using blue cardstock, and stamp the sentiment in blue ink in the center of the tag. Thread pink ribbon through the tag and mount at the top of the card front.

EMBOSSED LAYER

Use a piece of pink paper measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" to emboss the floral pattern with the embossing folder. Trim around the embossed portion of the pattern. Mount on the front of the card.

IMAGES

Stamp the flower image on white paper with black ink, and trim closely. Stamp the two large flowers again, and trim them closely, as well. Color the images with COPIC markers. I used these colors:

• Large flowers - R12, R14
• Small flowers - B91, B95
• Leaves - YG0000, YG03

Enhance the center of the individual large flowers with a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. Mount the full image on the card front. Add the individual flowers on top of the matching flowers using foam squares. Add White Opal Liquid Pearls to the center of the blue flowers.
