Instructions:

 

1. Fold your Thick Basic White Card Base in half.  Scoring first helps the fibers so your card stock edge does not break.  

2. Using your decorative mask and the shimmery white embossing paste apply paste to the opposite corners of the Granny Apple Green Cardstock in a small patch, fairly random.  Scrap off excess and remove mask.  Set aside to dry. (Make sure you wash mask and tools immediately in cold water or the paste will harden.)  

3. Stamp the greeting in Highland Heather on Highland Heather scrap; punch with the oval punch. Set aside.

4. Adhere Butterflies and Flowers Mask to the Basic White Cardstock with some painter’s tape or washi tape.  Block out any images you do not want to color with sticky notes or tape.  Using the larger, more open, image and your blending brush with Fresh Freesia add color with a circular motion.

5. Do the same with the detail floral mask image but use Highland Heather Ink.

6. Using the leaves place them around your flower coloring some with granny apple green and some with garden green to get a variety of green colors around your flowers

7. Cut the image with the largest Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  

8. Adhere the now dry granny apple green layer to the front of your card base with stampin’ seal.

9. Mount the die cut piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals on a slight angle to expose part of the shimmer embossing paste.

10. Mount the punched image in the lower right corner as shown in image.

11. Add Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels to center of flowers and randomly on image
