Instructions:
My card is 6 X 6.  Make card base out of watercolor paper.  I sometimes use that for strength and stability.  Cover with a piece of the paper collection then set it aside to dry and we will begin working on the other elements of this card.

Using the circle dies and the white cardstock, cut out a circle that has the scalloped edges.  Now cut a smaller circle of the paper collection and glue it to the larger circle.  I used dimensional tape and adhered it to the center of my card.  Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamp the flower petals, umbrella and the butterfly and use the coordinating die to cut them out.  Cut out the umbrella and butterfly then use a Dove Blender pen and ink to color.  Next I added some Crystal Clear to give it a bit of sparkle and set it aside to dry.  I colored the Lilac flowers before I cut them out, this makes the process a bit quicker.  I used the Lush Lilac Shaping Mold to shape the petals; once the flowers have been run through the die cut machine in the mold I use my flower shaping kit to just press down in the center of the flower and it makes the petals stand up for more dimension. I added the Prills to the center of the flowers and set them aside to dry. Once dry, I glued the flowers to the umbrella and then I used dimensional tape to adhere it to the circle.  I also glued down the little butterfly

Now go back to the paper pack and find a sentiment and cut it out.  I used Lilac Posies Memento Ink and went around the edges of the sentiment and then used more dimensional tape to glue to the card front. 

Next I made for you a little tag.  I love tags because they can go along with a small gift for actually be a gift if you like.

Instructions:
My tag size is 4 X 7 3/4.  Cover the tag with a piece of the paper collection and edge it with green ink, then add two more layers of paper which have had edges distressed and colored.  Stamp the flowers, color and then cut out.  Run them through the mold and then continue shaping a bit more with the flower shaping kit.  Add Prills to the center and set aside to dry.  Next stamp the image and use the dove blender pen to color then using the coordinating die cut it out.  Add the flowers and set aside to dry.  Once dry adhere it to the tag using dimensional tape.

Stamp the sentiment and then use the circle dies to make a frame.  Adhere it to the tag using the dimensional tape.  Cut a length of the seam binding, spray with water and scrunch.  Set aside to dry.  Once dry tie a bow and glue it down.  Tie a bow through the hole of the tag.

Gorgeous card and the tag is stunning. I find it difficult to distress edges but you do it so well.

Hi Glenda, both are lovely! I've not been able to comment or look at blogs since the iPad died. Now with the little Fire tablet and i can get back to commenting. I see some gorgeous pink flowers below. Are you going to try and stay on the Heartfelt design team? Take care. Thanks for popping by to my blog today. ;)
