Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful Card

For the front: Place your card with the fold at the top. Cut a piece of border paper to fit the front of your card with the border along the right. Ink the edges with a cosmetic sponge and Timber Brown ink. Tie a bow from yellow crepe ribbon. Loosen the knot of the bow a little, and thread about 8" of ribbon through the knot. Position the bow towards the right end of the ribbon. Place a strip of Zips™ across your card about 1 1/2" from the bottom. Attach the ribbon to the Zips™ with the center knot of the bow 1 3/4" from the right. Wrap the ends to the back and attach with Zips™ (or tape). Cut a Double Bracket Label from purple watercolor using the Design Tool Kit #7. Ink the edges brown. Glue to the card 1/4" from the left and bottom. Cut 2 leaves from green watercolor and ink edges. Cut a large flower from pink watercolor and ink edges. Arrange the pink flower overlapping the upper right of the label and position the leaves behind it as shown. Glue down with glue stick. Cut a small purple flower and ink edges. Foam tape centered to the pink flower. Assemble the paper tole piece except leave out the #2 layer (the "Beautiful" banner) and save it for the inside. Foam tape the piece to the card 1/2" from the left and 3/4" from the top (avoid placing foam tape where it overlaps the purple flower). Apply Dark Chocolate Liquid Pearls™ outlining parts of the butterfly as shown. Let dry for 3 hours.

For the inside: Cover the inside with multi-stripe. Cut the large shape from Design Tool Kit #7 using green watercolor. Ink edges and glue to center. Cut and ink a large pink flower and small purple flower. Glue the large flower 1/8" from the top and 3/4" from the left. Glue the small flower centered on the large. Glue "Beautiful" centered at the top, 3/4" from the top.
