Stenciled Flowers Congrats Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left. Cut Jewel dark purple textured paper to cover the front and glue the upper half in place. Cut 2¾"x3½" blue vellum and place the stencil in the center. Squeeze grape Smooch onto a sponge and tap it on the stencil frame, avoiding the inside. Sponge pink Smooch on the flowers and inside edge of the frame, avoiding the leaves and stems. Sponge lettuce on the stems and leaves, avoiding the other areas. (Tip: cut small post-its to fit sections you want to avoid sponging, removing them as needed.)
Mat the stenciled design on lavender cardstock with 1/16" borders, then glue to a 3½"x4½" Jewel purple textured paper. Glue to the card, ½" from the upper edge. Sponge grape and pink inks on the white lace. When dry, cut a 6" length and glue across the front as shown, gluing the ends on the back.
Thread the pink sheer and lavender grosgrain ribbons onto the purple slider. Glue to the lace upper edge, gluing the ends on the back. Glue the lower half of the dark purple paper to the card. Stamp “just for you” on the metal tag, then tie onto the slider with pink sheer ribbon. Punch and glue two silver embossed corners on the stenciled design’s upper corners. Place the Dazzles™ as shown.
For the inside: Sponge grape Smooch onto the heart frame stamp. Lightly sponge pink over the grape ink, then stamp onto blue cardstock. Stamp “congrats” in black. Cut to 3"x2¾" and mat on Jewel purple textured paper with 1/8" borders. Glue to a 4"x5" Jewel dark purple textured paper, ½" from the upper edge. Glue sponged lace and lavender ribbon across the lower edge of the heart as shown, gluing the ends on the back. Mat on lavender cardstock with 3/16" borders. Cut an embossed silver scalloped hinge in half and glue the pieces as shown. Insert a pink brad through each, then glue the heart to the inside. Place the Dazzles™ as shown.
