Instructions: My finished card is 6" x 6". I used the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper to make the card base because of strength and durability. Cut a piece 6" x 12" and score at 6" to make the card base. Using Sheet 10B of the paper collection cover the card base.

Using Fern Green, stamp the leaves and color using Leaf Green. Cut out with coordinating die, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine inside the mold. Turn out onto desk to dry. I stamped the flower petals using Buttercup ink and also colored with Buttercup. Cut out with coordinating die, spritz with water and run these through the die cut machine inside the mold. Turn these out to dry. At this point I did a bit of shaping the edges of the petals with my fingers. I just pinched them a bit to form a point then set aside to dry.

When everything is dry, hot glue the layers and the center of the flowers I used hot glue to shape and hold the form. Add glitter and allow to dry.

Now cut out the Ornate Pocket Accent die using white cardstock. I added glitter and set aside to dry. Using the luxe gold cardstock cut out the circle using the Courtside Elegance die.

Glue down the white piece and layer the gold over it. I used DDots to adhere the gold layer. Glue the flower and leaves to the center of the card.

Using Leaf Green ink stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock, cut out using one of the dies from the Ornamental Tag dies set. I also edged around this piece with Leaf Green ink. I used dimensional tape. I added the Prills to the little winged creature and covered with Glossy Accents. Allow this to dry. When dry add it to the edge of the sentiment piece and your card is finished.
