Instructions:

  1. With the fold on the left, trim the card to 3 3/4” wide. Cover the card with purple tile batik paper. Cut a 3” square of black cardstock and punch each corner with the Summer punch. Cut off the punched corners and glue them to the corners of the card.
  2. Cut a 2 3/8” square of black cardstock and punch each corner with the Summer punch. Turn the square on point. Cut two 4 1/4” pieces of narrow lilac grosgrain ribbon and two from narrow sheer pink ribbon. Weave a sheer pink ribbon through the top point of the square and weave a lilac ribbon just below it. Do the same for the bottom point. Glue the black square to the center of the card, 1 1/4” from the top. Glue down all the ribbons and trim excess.
  3. Cut a 1 1/4” square of lilac grid paper and write a greeting on it. Glue to the center of the black punched square.
  4. For the inside: Cut a 2 3/8” square of purple tile batik paper and punch all the corners. Mat onto black paper, making a 1/16” black border. Turn the square on point and glue centered to the card, 1” from the top. Write a message in white gel pen on a 1 1/4” square of black cardstock and glue to the center of the diamond. Zot™ a small pink bow to the bottom right of the greeting.
