It’s a Bright Blossoms Day!

Step by Step:

1. Run the 4” x 5 ¼” not quite navy card stock through the Big Shot using the vintage wallpaper embossing folder.  Attach to the whisper white – base of card.
2. Tape the 12 summer smooches dsp squares in a random pattern to the 4 ¼” x 5 ½” whisper white card stock.  Put the largest label framelit around the paper and cut out.  Wrap a piece of pool party seam binding ribbon around the bottom part of the framelit and tie in a knot on the right side.  Attach to the center of the card using dimensionals on the back.
3. Coloring in the vase with not quite navy marker and the leaves with the lucky limeade marker – stamp the image into the center of the whisper white 2 ¼” x 2 ¾” card stock.
4. Put the card stock from #3 above into the oval frame embossing folder and run through the big shot.  Punch out the 4 corners using the ticket corner punch.
5. Stamp the flower in real red ink and onto a scrap piece of whisper white card stock.  Cut out with scissors and put a dimensional on the back of it and adhere to the top of the leaves in #4 above.  Attach to the 2 ½” x 3” lucky limeade card stock.  Attach 4 rhinestones to each of the four corners where the ticket corner has been punched.  Attach all the center of the card and over the ribbon already in place.
