Instructions:

Step 1:  Fold a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Sweet Potato cardstock in half to form a top fold A2 card

Step 2: Tape the CA Poppies stencil to a 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" piece of white cardstock with removable tape
Step 3:  Use stencil brushes to apply inks to the image, using the Picasso tool to help with color placement, remove the stencil, clean and dry the stencil
Step 4:  Tape the Poppies stencil back over the colored image
Step 5:  Use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply a coat of Translucent embossing paste over the image, remove stencil and place in water for cleaning

Step 6: Immediately sprinkle the wet paste with Crystal Glitter, tap off extra, let image dry thoroughly
Step 7:  Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of the Graphic 45 patterned paper, use an ink blusher to add a little Electric Orange around the edges, tie an orange ribbon near the bottom then adhere to the front of the card

Step 8: Use Fitted Frames Set A, size Q to cut frames from the Sweet Potato cardstock (the larger frame) the from the dry, pasted image (the smaller matching frame)
Step 9: Adhere the two frames together and use foam tape to adhere to the front of the card
