Designer Tip: Cover your card with Timeless Treasures stripe paper. Cut a 5”x3” Timeless Treasures green dot paper. Make a mark 1” from each corner on the bottom long edge. Draw a line from the top corner to the mark. Cut along the line. Ink the edges. Wrap a gingham ribbon 1¼” from the bottom. Zot a ribbon bow in the center. Glue to the card, with the narrow edge on the bottom. Stamp six yellow large base Dahlias on white cardstock. Use the step #2 with orange ink to stamp over the yellow, lining up the flower edges. Let dry, so the embossing powder will not stick to the base. Use the Step #3 large Dahlia with VersaMark™ ink to stamp over all six dahlias. Sprinkle three of the dahlias with red glitter embossing powder. Tap off the excess. Sprinkle the last three with copper glitter embossing powder. Tap off the excess. Heat emboss all six flowers. Cut close to the stamped edge. Stamp five leaf base stamps in the lightest green ink. Use the #2 step leaf stamp with a darker green ink. Let dry completely. Use the #3 leaf stamp with VersaMark™ ink to stamp the last layer. Dust all five with Glamour Green embossing glitter. Tap off the excess. Heat with a heat tool. Cut close to the stamped edge. Stamp swirls, with brown ink, on the top right corner, left side, and two near the ribbon. Arrange the flowers and leaves at the top of the card, gluing some, and foam taping others. Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock and ink over with light yellow. Mat on Timeless Treasures brown dot paper. Foam tape near the bottom right.
