Supplies Needed
- Lost Lagoon Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (scored at 4-1/4")
- Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (inside card)
- Crumb Cake Cardstock: 3-3/4" x 4-1/2"
- Luxe White Specialty Paper: 1" x 4-1/4"
- Basic White Cardstock: 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" (scrap for punching)
- Crumb Cake Cardstock: 1/2" x 1-3/4" (scrap for sentiment)
Instructions
- Fold the Lost Lagoon cardstock in half at the 4-1/4" score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card and decorate as desired.
- Stamp the large fern randomly on the Crumb Cake cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Repeat until the cardstock is all stamped.
- Using the Pretty Peacock ink pad and a clean Small Blending Brush, ink up the Brush with Pretty Peacock ink and swirl onto the Luxe White Specialty Paper. It's ok to not have the ink perfectly uniform.
- Wrap some of the Cloud Cover Ribbon around the sponged Luxe White Specialty Paper and tie into a bow. Adhere the paper to the card front as shown in the sample.
- Ink up the Floral Image using the Early Espresso ink. Color in the image using the Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. Punch out the circle using the 2-3/8" Circle Punch. Adhere to the card as shown in the sample using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1/2" strip of Crumb Cake cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Tear the right sode using your fingers and adhere to the 2-3/8" circle using adhesive.
- Add 3 of the Pretty Peacock Array of Dots as desired onto the card to finish.
