Instructions:

  1. Cut 1” off the front of the card. Cover the card front with chocolate cardstock; glue a 2 ¼” strip of green cardstock inside the card, lining up with the edge.
  2. Cut a 3 ½”x5 ½” piece of glossy paper. Squeeze 3 drops each of Cranberry, Lettuce and Eggplant alcohol inks, then 3 drops of Blending Solution onto the applicator pad. Tap randomly on the glossy paper until it’s all colored. Randomly squeeze a few drops of Blending Solution onto the paper and allow to spread and dry.
  3. Place leaf Dazzles™ on the cardstock and color in the inside edges with Plum marker. Note: If any marker ink gets on the Dazzles™, simply wipe it off with a tissue. Mat on green cardstock and glue to the card front. Tie a knot in a piece of sheer ribbon and Zot™ at the top left.
  4. For the card inside: Place swirl Dazzles™ as shown, adding amber crystal accents. Stamp “happy birthday” next to a swirl at the top left.
