Project by Teresa Welch
For the card front: Open the card and cut 1" off the front opening edge. Close the card and turn with the fold at the top. Cut 6¼"x3¾" Floral pink floral paper and glue centered on the front. Cut 2½"x3¾" Floral green striped paper and mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue to the front, 7/8" from the top. Cut a 6" doily border and trim to 2¼" wide. Glue to the front, aligning the straight edge with the lower front card edge.
Punch out and assemble the pincushion papier tole piece, following the package directions and using foam tape between the layers. Glue to the center front. Knot a 5" white ribbon and glue to the lower left. Place a 1½" pink silk flower on a 1½" cream silk flower, both upside down. Place a 1" cream silk flower right side up in the center, then secure with a green flower brad. Glue over the ribbon knot.
For the inside: Cut 6¼"x4¾" Floral green dotted paper and glue centered on the inside. Cut 6"x3¾" cardstock and glue to the green paper, aligning the upper edges. Cut a 6¼"x1½" doily border and place on scrap paper. Use the cosmetic sponge to color it rouge. When dry, glue across the upper edge.
Knot a 3" white ribbon and glue to the upper left corner. Stack a small pink silk flower on a large green silk flower and secure with an ivory brad. Glue over the ribbon knot. Cut out the 1¾" green tag and stamp “sew sweet” and a heart on it. Insert a pink flower brad in the top, then glue to the lower right corner so the sentiment shows when the card is closed.
