Instructions:

  1. For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top and cover the front with Roses in Harmony red paper. Ink the edges. Cut 1¾"x5" Roses in Harmony striped paper and ink the edges. Mat on red cardstock with 1/16" borders, then on brown cardstock with ⅛" borders. Glue vertically, 1⅛" from the left edge.
  2. Place the sheet of daisies Dazzles™ on the craft sheet. Squirt espresso ink and blending solution on an applicator pad, overlapping the inks. Press the ink onto the Dazzles™ sheet repeatedly to 'brown-down' the bright red color. Repeat until you like the shade.
  3. Place the stem Dazzles on the center of the striped paper, trimming as needed to fit. Place eight flower Dazzles™ on Roses in Harmony text paper and cut around the edges. Glue and foam tape six ¾"-2½" wide flowers in a row across the front as shown, then foam tape small flowers in the centers of the two largest flowers. Place leaf Dazzles™ next to the stem and largest flower.
  4. For the inside: Cut 5"x3½" Roses in Harmony green paper and ink the edges. Glue centered on the inside. Cut 6½"x1¼" Roses in Harmony striped paper and ink the edges. Mat the long edges on red cardstock with 1/16" borders, then on brown cardstock with ⅛" borders. Ink the edges, then glue across the inside center.
  5. Place “happy birthday” Dazzles™ on the craft sheet and ink with raisin, then espresso inks. Place in the center of the striped paper as shown. Back four flower Dazzles™ with Roses in Harmony text paper and cut out. Glue and foam tape as shown. Place additional small flower Dazzles™ near the text flowers as shown.
