MAT LAYERS

SENTIMENT

Stamp the sentiment in green ink below the mat layer.

IMAGE

Cut a label 1 die cut from vanilla card stock, and stamp the flower image in black ink on the die cut. Use a watercolor brush to color the flowers and leaves using ink from ink pads. Use a needle and embroidery floss, attach the buttons to the image, fixing the floss on the back with tape. Wrap a piece of orange raffia around the bottom of the die cut and tie a knot.

Cut/emboss a label 1 die cut one size larger than the image die cut using green card stock. Attach it to the card front using foam squares. Add the image panel onto the green die cut using foam squares.
