Instructions

Step 1:  Fold a 7" x 10" piece of yellow cardstock in half to form an A7 top-fold card

Step 2:  Edge a 5" x 7" piece of decorative paper with a coordinating marker, then adhere to the front of the card

Step 3:  Place the stencil face down (so you can't see the stencil number) on the large platform of a die cut machine, place a  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock over the stencil (I like to mist my paper with a little water first), add a rubber embossing mat, two clean cutting plates, a put stack through the machine

Step 4:  Remove the embossed image and stencil from the machine, place face up on your work surface and tape the stencil in place over the embossed image with removable tape

Step 5:  Use 1/4" stencil brushes and the Picasso tool to add color to the embossed image, remove and clean stencil

Step 6:  Use a VersaMark pen on the centers of the flowers, sprinkle Aged Black Embossing Enamel, tap off extra enamel, heat set, let image cool

Step 7: Adhere the flowers to a 4 3/8" x 5 5/8" dark brown mat, then to a 4 5/8" x 5 7/8" yellow mat

Step 8:  Attach some May Arts green ric-rak across the lower part of the card front with Beacon Adhesive FabriTac

Step 9:  Adhere the flowers to the card front and use Glue Dots to add a May Arts Ribbon bow near the lower right side of the card
