Carnations Bouquet Thanks Card

Instructions:

1. For the card front: Place the card with the fold on the left. Cut 4¾"x6¼" Carnations purple faded flowers cardstock and glue it centered on the front. Cut out the blue carnations frame and mat it on dark blue cardstock with ⅛" borders.

2. Die cut stems and leaves from green cardstock and berries from pink and white cardstocks. Die cut one pink, two white, and two iris crepe paper flowers, then follow the package directions to form them into carnations. Glue stems and leaves to the blue carnation frame, then glue the flowers on top as shown. Tuck and glue the berries around the flowers.

3. Wrap light blue crepe ribbon across the frame, 1½" from the bottom, and glue the ends to the back. Foam tape the frame to the card front. Make a 4-loop bow with the ribbon, tying the center with thread. Glue the bow to the first ribbon over the flower stems. Knot 3" of blue grosgrain ribbon and glue it to the bow center. Foam tape the “my sincere thanks” die-cut as shown.

4. For the inside: Cut 4"x6" Carnations purple border cardstock and glue it to the inside, aligning the right edges. Cut 1"x6½" Carnations blue textured cardstock and mat the right edge on dark blue cardstock with a ⅛" wide border. Glue it to the inside and place three silver thin line Dazzles™ as shown, trimming the excess. Foam tape the “grateful for you” cutout as shown.
