Thinking of You
Card front: Place your card with the fold at the left. Cut a 4 3/4"x6 1/4" black cardstock. Stamp the round lace-edged image 3 times on the black cardstock with VersaMark™ ink, as follows: 1” from the top and 1/4" from the left side; 2 1/2" from the top and 1 1/2" from the left; 1/4” from the top and right side. Dust with white embossing powder and emboss with the heat gun.
Use your knife to cut a small slit along the bottom center edge of each “flower” stamped image. Cut four 1/8”x4” strips from Colorist green dots paper and insert one into each slit for a stem, reserving remaining strip for the inside. Glue the end of each slit to the back and glue the stems in place down the front of the black cardstock. Use the leaf pattern to trace 8 leaves from Colorist green dots paper, Cut them out and glue 6 leaves to the card as shown. Cut a 4 3/4"x3/8” Colorist green dots paper and glue it even with the bottom of the cardstock. Mat on Colorist pink dots paper with 1/8” borders and glue it centered on the card.
Finish the front: Stamp “Thinking of you” on black cardstock and trim to 1 1/4"x5/16”. Mat on Colorist pink dots paper with thin borders. Glue it near the upper left corner of the card. Use 1/2" wide white/black dotted ribbon to tie a bow. Zot™ the bow on the bottom of the center flower stem as shown.
