Step 3:  Place the Swirls stencil face down on the large platform of a die cut machine, spritz a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock with a fine mist of water and carefully line the paper up over the stencil, place a rubber embossing mat over the paper, add two unused cutting plates and run the sandwich through the machine
Step 4:   Place the embossed image face up and use 1/2" stencil brushes to add the yellow, then orange inks over the design

Step 5:   Cut a 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" piece of the embossed image, mat on a 2 3/8" x 4 3/4" piece of bright orange cardstock and adhere toward the left edge of the card front
Step 6: Mat the Ice Pop Treat image on a 3 3/8" x 4 7/8" piece of bright orange cardstock, then adhere to the card front towards the bottom right
