Flowered & Embossed Best Wishes Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top, then cut 6½"x5" black cardstock. Cut 6¼"x4¾" Daydreams pink paper and stamp the large flourish angled across the paper repeatedly, creating diagonal stripes (see the note above). Cover with embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat to melt. Glue the paper centered on the cardstock.
Punch out the 7/8" wide border die cut and remove the nibs. Glue across the paper, 7/8" from the bottom, and trim the excess. Punch out the 4¼"x3½" label, remove the nibs, then glue ¾" from the left edge. Wrap the fuchsia ribbon across the constructed front just above the border and glue the ends to the back. Glue the constructed front to the card.
Cut out the “hoping that happiness…” sentiment and mat on black cardstock with 1/8" borders. Foam tape to the label center. Punch out the remaining die cuts and remove the nibs. Glue and foam tape the flowers as shown.
Make a 4-loop bow with black ribbon and tie the center with thread. Glue as shown. Thread two black buttons, then glue one to the bow center and one to the border’s right end. Place pearls as shown.
For the inside: Cut 5½"x3 5/8" Daydreams teal circles paper and repeat the stamping and embossing as for the pink paper on the front. Mat on black cardstock with 1/16" borders, then glue centered on the inside.
Punch out the zigzag border and remove the nibs. Glue 1½" from the left edge and trim the excess. Cut out a 2½"x2" blank pink label and mat on teal cardstock with 1/8" borders, then on black cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue centered on the teal paper.
Cut out the “best wishes” sentiment and mat on teal cardstock with 1/16" borders, then on black cardstock with 1/32" borders. Glue centered on the label. Punch out the remaining die cuts and remove the nibs. Glue and foam tape the flowers around the sentiment and place pearls as shown.
