Instructions:

1. Front: Place your card with the fold on the left. Cover the card with Ruby Rose dark gray textured paper (from the floral bordered sheet). Cut a 4 7/8”x6 1/4" Ruby Rose white/gray floral paper and glue it centered on the card.
2. Cut a 3”x5 5/8” white cardstock. You will be using the dark green numbered daisies stamp images (see the chart on the back of the stamp package), and purple numbered stem images, and the pink numbered leaves. Stamp the daisy image #1 using shabby pink ink, centered and slightly angled on the white cardstock, 5/8” from the top. Dry it quickly with the heat gun. Stamp daisy image #2 over the first image, using silver ink. Heat to set. For daisy image #3, apply merlot ink on the stamp, then use a cosmetic sponge to apply brown ink onto the stamp over the merlot ink. Stamp it on top of image #2. Heat to set.
3. Stamp the stem #1 image with silver ink, aligning it with the blossom. For the detail, apply black ink to the #2 stamp, then use a cosmetic sponge to apply silver ink onto the stamp over the black ink. Stamp it on top of the #1 image. Stamp #1 leaf images on both sides of the stem with silver ink as shown. Add a swirl image on the left side of the stem with silver ink as shown. Heat to set. Stamp “Smile” centered below the flower with black/silver ink (layering the color on the stamp as you did for the #2 stem image). Heat to set.
4. Finish the front: Mat the long sides of the white cardstock on Ruby Rose dark pink diamonds paper with 1/4" borders. Mat the entire piece on Ruby Rose light gray textured paper with 1/16” borders. Glue it centered on the card. Place Silver Jewel Border Dazzles™ on the long sides of the white cardstock. Use 1/4" wide black organdy ribbon to tie a bow. Zot™ the bow on the right side of the white cardstock as shown.
5. Inside: Cut a 5”x1” white cardstock. Use black/silver ink in layers to stamp “Birthday WISHES” centered on the cardstock. Stamp a leaf sprig image angled on the left side of the words with silver ink. Stamp a swirl on the right side of the words, overlapping the cardstock from the bottom. Heat to set. Mat long sides on Ruby Rose dark pink diamonds paper with 1/4" borders. Mat on Ruby Rose light gray textured paper with 1/16” borders. Glue it across the card, 1 1/2" from the bottom. Place Silver Jewel Border Dazzles™ at the sides of the white cardstock as shown. Zot™ knotted black organdy ribbon on the bottom right edge of the paper as shown.
