Designer Tip: Place a blank card with the fold on the left and fold the right side of the front back over to the fold, then flatten the new fold with the bone folder, creating a “z-fold” card, when looking directly at the bottom edge. Ink the edges and folds of the card with Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink. Mat Sunday Musings grey text paper on black cardstock with 1/16” borders and glue onto each card panel. Stamp the #1 base of the large and small flowers onto scrap paper and cut out each to be used as masks. Stamp clusters of the flowers onto 4 ¾”x4 ¼” white cardstock using Spun Sugar distress ink for the base. Spritz water onto the inked stamp before stamping. Stamp and spritz the next layer with Shaded Lilac. Stamp the final layer with Wilted Violet oxide ink, but do not spritz with water. Mask the flowers when stamping one that will be “behind” the front image. Repeat for the leaves using Scattered Straw distress ink, then Evergreen Bough and finishing with Cracked Pistachio oxide ink. Punch ¼” circles from the clear glitter sheet, remove the adhesive backing and place on the flower centers. Use the stylus to ink the edges with Cracked Pistachio, then mat on black cardstock, wrap ribbon around the left side and glue centered on the left panel. Repeat the process for one flower with leaves on 4 ¾”x3 ¼” white cardstock, mat and place on the inside. Stamp the greeting and sentiment on strips of white cardstock using Shaded Lilac, then offset with Wilted Violet. Cover with clear glitter sheet, then mat on black cardstock and foam tape in place, as shown. Supplies:
