Instructions:

  1. Cover the card front with burlap paper. Use Aged Mahogany to ink the edges of a 4"-wide strip of teal texture paper and glue across the card center. Ink the edges of the card with Aged Mahogany. Tear the edges of a 2 ½"-wide strip of tan vellum and glue across the center.
  2. Stamp the flower bouquet with Staz-On onto cream cardstock; stamp the smaller flower twice onto another area of the cardstock. Scribble Plum and Pine Green onto plastic bag or plate. Dip the blending pen into the plum and use to color in the flowers. Use the Plum marker to trace along the inside edge of the blossoms.
  3. Clean the Blending Pen and dip into Pine Green and apply color lightly along the edge of the flourishes by the flowers.
  4. Cut the large bouquet into a 3" square; ink the edges with Aged Mahogany and glue as a diamond in the center of the card front. Cut the smaller flowers into 1 ¼" squares; ink the edges and glue on either side of the focal. Add self-adhesive pearls in the center of some of the blossoms.
  5. Tie a knot in a piece of tan sheer ribbon and Zot™ to the bottom of the focal square.
  6. For the card inside: Cut a 3"-wide strip of tan paper and glue across the inside of the card. Stamp "I love you" with black onto cream cardstock; cut to 3"x2 ¼" and ink the edges with Aged Mahogany. Mat on green glimmer paper and glue inside the card. Stamp the swirl at the bottom right as shown.
