Instructions: The ready top fold card measures, 7″ by 7″. Choose a 6″ by 6″ card panel from the paper collection and cut apart the 3 frames as shown. To the topmost panel, mat a layer of the white cardstock making a border of 1/16″ on all the sides. Next, cut a window using the second largest die from Eyelet Circle & Basics Small Die. Adhere an acetate sheet from the back of the window. To the next frame also mat white cardstock creating a border of 1/16″. Layer all the frames using double-sided tape and finally layer the entire panel on the ready card base.

Stamp the images from Elements of Home Stamp and My Happy Place Cling Stamp Set with black archival ink on white cardstock and color them using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Once the images are painted cut them using their coordinating dies.

Stamp the Rose flower images from Classic Rose stamp set with white pigment ink on Vellum and white heat embossed them using Ranger’s white heat embossing powder. Color them using Seedless Preserves and Wild Honey. Place the petals facing down the mold, spray them a little and mist some water. Dab the petals with a damp cloth and press the centers. Prick a hole in the center and thread golden color thread stamens to complete the flowers. The leafy vines are also white heat embossed on vellum and then colored using peeled paint distress oxide.

Once all the elements are ready, cut the sentiment from the paper collection using Arrows and Banner Die and finish the card as shown.
