Sending Happy Thoughts Card
Card front: Place your card with the fold on the top. Cut a piece of purple mirror sheet to fit the front, peel from the backing and stick onto the front. Use Zips™ to adhere 6½” wide teal web ribbon across the center of the card. Die cut the center curved label shape from Unforgettable light green paper. Stamp "Sending Happy Thoughts" onto the center with VersaMark™ and dust with WOW! Magical Mauve embossing powder. Tap off the excess and set with a heat gun. Mat on purple mirror with a 1/16" border. Die cut a larger oval label shape out of Unforgettable teal patterned paper. Glue to center of card over the web ribbon. Glue the greeting label in the center of the teal label as shown. Zot™ a sheer green swirl bow to the lower right of the greeting as shown.
Use stencil tape to mask the center and dotted areas of the stencil. Cut a piece of acetate to 6 1/2" x 6". Place the stencil on the acetate so that the corners of the image are about 3/8" from the bottom and sides of the acetate. Secure with stencil tape. Place on a craft sheet or scrap paper. Use the plastic squeegee to scrape the Glass Bead Glitter Gel over the stencil openings. Remove the stencil and wash immediately along with the squeegee. Let dry overnight. Use the back of a craft knife and ruler to score the acetate piece 1" from the top edge. Score a second line about 1mm above the first to create a very narrow spine to fit over the card fold. Mountain fold along both scored lines. Place the acetate over the card so that the folded part fits over the fold of the card. Attach this to the back flap with Zips™.
Card inside: Cover the bottom 2 1/2" with Unforgettable teal floral paper. Place a 1/2" wide strip of purple mirror across the top of the teal paper. Die cut a light green oval frame with the cutting dies. Center the stencil on the label and sponge Plumeria ink through only the center swirls. Stamp "You Make Me Smile" in the center with Plumeria. Glue to center as shown.
