Instructions:

1. Card front: Place a blank card with the fold on top and cover with Roses & Lace gray rose border paper, keeping the roses on the right side. Use the wedge to ink the edges with Timber Brown StazOn® ink.
2. Use VersaMark™ to stamp a small butterfly at the top right corner of 3 ¾”x3 ¾” sage green lace paper. Dust with gold embossing powder, shake off excess and set with the heat gun. Stamp and emboss a medium rose on the opposite corner, and a small flourish going off the remaining corners. Cut the piece in half vertically, then each in half horizontally, creating four 1 7/8”x1 7/8” pieces. Ink the edges of each piece, mat each on burgundy suede with 1/16” borders and glue ¼” apart from each other, 3/8” from the top, left and bottom edges of your card, as shown. Place Jewel Dazzles™ on the corners opposite to the embossing.
3. Use the cutting dies to cut a 3 ¼” circle from burgundy lace paper, ink the edges, mat on suede with a 1/16” border and glue centered over the four squares.
4. Set a 6 ½”x5 ½” acetate over the card front, aligning the bottom edge. Stamp the large heart and “With Love” over the burgundy circle, as shown. Remove from the card front, dust with embossing powder and heat set. Swipe the bottom corners with the VersaMark™ ink pad, and emboss.
5. Score a horizontal line ½” from the top edge of the acetate, mountain fold the tab to the back and use Ultra Tape to attach the tab to the card back, along the fold. Place Jewel Dazzles™ on the heart swirls. Fold a length of 1 ½” burgundy crepe in half to make ¾” wide, then tie in a bow and Zot™ below the embossed heart, as shown.
