Designer Tip: When stitching flowers, alternate using one strand of green floss and 2 strands of purple. So the ugly side of the stitching does not show on the opposite side, glue the border along the card front edge.

Supplies:

• Icy Rainbow Creative Pack
• Flower Punch & Stitch
• Purple Blend Color Infusion Sparklers and Green Blend Color Infusion Sparklers
• Gold Greetings Dazzles
• Icy Rainbow Creative Kit
• White Cards & Envelopes

Instructions:

1. Evenly space 8 punched flower stitching patterns onto a 6 1/2 long strip of pearl glimmer paper. Stitch only 7 flowers, alternating thread colors, leaving the 3rd flower from the left unstitched. Cut the strip to 1 wide and glue under the edge of the dot border paper.
2. Place the card fold at the left. Cut 2 1/2 from the right edge of the card. Cover the card front with green paper with a purple dot border and flower border on the right edge.
3. Place a Dazzle greeting on a pink tag cut-out, secured with a purple brad. Foam tape the rectangle over the space on the border where the flower was left unstitched.
4. Inside the card: Cover the card inside back with pink textured paper. Mat a 2x5 rectangle of purple dot paper with light green paper, leaving a 1/16 wide border. Glue the rectangle to the inside back 3/8 from the right edge. Secure a large and small yellow flower to the inside back above the rectangle tag.
