Go Out & Shine Card

For the front: Place your card with the fold on the left. Cover the card with metallic gold paper. Cut 4 3/4" x 6 1/4" of postcards paper and trim off the corners. Place over newspaper in a well-ventilated area (outside is best) and spray a couple coats of Gold Glitter Dust Spray. Let dry. Glue centered to the card. Place 6 1/2" of wide purple crepe ribbon across the card at a diagonal, with the left end 2 3/4" from the top and the right end 1 3/4" from the top. Glue down each end using Zips. Place 6 1/2" of pink grosgrain ribbon across the card at a diagonal, with the left end 1 1/2" from the top and the right end 3 1/4" from the top. Attach with Zips™. Glue down teal sheer swirl ribbon overlapping the pink ribbon as shown. Trim excess ribbon. Place a Dazzles™ border along the top edge of the pink ribbon and trim excess. Punch out the pieces to the paper tole piece. Take the white flower layer and set on some scrap paper. with a paintbrush, brush a generous layer of Crystal Lacquer covering the flower. Wash brush immediately in soap and water. Move the shape to a clean scrap paper (so it doesn't get accidentally glued to the paper with lacquer). Let dry several hours until the lacquer is clear and glossy. Apply a second layer and let dry. Assemble the paper tole piece and glue to the front of the card 1" from the right and 3/4" from the top. Tie a bow of narrow brown and teal stitched ribbon. Glue to the top of the tag. Apply butterfly, swirl, and star Dazzles™ to the card as shown.

For the inside: Cover the inside with metallic gold paper. Cut the large floral corner from the border paper and spray with Gold Glitter Dust Spray. Glue to the card 1/8" from the right and bottom.
