Sending Happy Thoughts Card

Front: Place the card with the fold at the top. Cover card with chalkboard paper and sand the edges with sandpaper to get a worn look. Following your embossing machine manufacturer’s instructions, emboss the same paper in the Label with Dots embossing folder. Sand the raised design lightly to bring out the design. Cut out around the label shape. Stamp "Sending Happy Thoughts” onto the center of the label. Cover with Zing! Blush embossing powder, tap off the excess and set with a heat gun. Mat the label on pink textured paper, leaving a 1/8" border. Glue to the center of the card.

Emboss two pieces of acetate using the Rose Corner embossing folder. Cover a brayer with VersaMark™ ink by repeatedly rolling it on the ink pad. Roll the ink over the rose corner with the brayer. Apply blush embossing powder, tapping off excess. Heat emboss using a heat tool. Cut out around the rose and swirls on both pieces. Use a few Zots™ on the back of each acetate rose to attach them to the card in the upper right and lower left, as shown. Tie a bow with sheer white dot and narrow aqua grosgrain ribbons and glue to the lower right of the label. Add 3 small pearls to the center of each rose. Add short pieces of pearl strands around the greeting as shown.

Inside: Cover card with pink tile pattern. Cut 2"x5" black chalkboard paper and emboss the inside greetings as shown with blush embossing powder. Glue to the card 3/4" from the left.
