Thinking of You Side Step Card
Place your die-cut card flat with the long panels on the right side. Place the small flower stamp on an acrylic block. Take the Spectrum Noir pen CG2 and use the chisel tip to color the stamp. Stamp on the blank card, then quickly stamp again in another area, creating a lighter image. Use this technique to cover the background of the card with stamped green flowers in various shades. Assemble your side step card with the tall panel on the right side.
Stamp a roses tag onto white cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Cut out the tag with the matching die. Color in the tag with CG2, DG3, LV1, and LV2. Fold 6" of sheer purple swirl ribbon and pull the folded end through the front of the hole, then thread the ends through that loop. Trim ends at an angle. Glue to the tall panel of the card, angled slightly as shown. Stamp a small tag on white cardstock and stamp "Thinking of You" inside the tag (with the hole on the left). Color the tag with LV1 and LV2. Cut out with the matching die. Pull 4" of sheer purple swirl ribbon through the hole. Foam tape the tag 1/4" from the right and 1 3/4" from the top. Use Medium Zots to attach the ends of the ribbon to the card, then trim excess.
Stamp a 3 1/2" tag on white cardstock twice and cut out both images with the matching die. Color one with CG2, CG1, and DG2. Color the other with LV3, LV2 and LV1. Stamp and cut out a small tag and color it with LV1. Cut off the bottom 3/4" of the 3 1/2" purple tag and glue to the side step on the top step as shown. Cut off the bottom 1 1/4" of the green tag and create a knot of sheer purple ribbon in the hole. Glue to the middle step on the left side, angle as shown. Glue the small tag overlapping the green tag as shown.
Cut 10 flower shapes from white cardstock. Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp a flower on 5 of them, then use Spectrum Noir pen LV2 to stamp the rest. Color the black flowers in with LV1 and LV2. Foam tape 4 colored flowers evenly spaced across the bottom of the card and one at the top left of the large tag as shown. Place lavender bling in the centers of these 5 flowers. Glue 3 white flowers (with purple outlines) below the purple flowers as shown. Trim off excess. Glue the remaining 2 white flowers to the tops of the purple tags on the side steps. Center these 2 flowers with lavender bling.
For the inside: Stamp a large tag on white cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Color in the image with DG2, LV2, and LV1. Pull 4" of sheer purple swirl ribbon through the hole. Cut out the tag with the matching die. Glue the tag across the bottom of the card, 1/2" from the right. Trim excess. Stamp a small tag on white cardstock and stamp "Hello" in the center with the hole on the left. Color the tag with LV1 and LV2. Thread 3" of ribbon through the hole and glue the tag to the card 1/2" from the top and 1/4" from the right. Use Medium Zots to glue down the ends of the ribbon on both tags. Trim ribbon even with the edges of the card.
