Instructions:

  1. Cover the card front with dark purple paper and ink the edges with Aged Mahogany. Cut a 4 1/2”x6” piece of cream cardstock; ink the edges with Aged Mahogany and glue to the card center.
  2. Color the botanical with Black Marvy Marker and stamp on the rough side of the transparency sheet. Cut to 4 3/4”x3 1/2” and ink the edges with Black Staz-On. Let dry for a few minutes before handling. When dry, punch holes evenly at the top of the transparency, about 1/4” from the top. Cut a 5 1/2”x4” piece of floral paper; place the transparency on top and mark the holes on the floral paper. Remove the transparency and punch the holes in the floral paper. Secure together with sheer lavender ribbon.
  3. Glue to the card front and add three self-adhesive pearls at the bottom right.
  4. For the card inside: Cut a 4 3/4”x5 3/4” piece of tan texture paper. Cut a 2 1/2”-wide strip of floral paper, ink the edges and glue across the tan paper as shown, securing a small piece of sheer lavender ribbon behind the floral paper as shown. Ink the edges of the piece with Aged Mahogany. Color “thinking of you” with Black Marker and stamp at the bottom right as shown. Add three self-adhesive pearls.
