Choose a pattern paper from the designer paper collection and cut measuring 5 1/2″ by 7 1/2″. Mat it on the white cardstock creating a delicate white border of 1/16″ on all sides. Layer the panel on the card base using foam dots. 

Cut the one shadow from white cardstock, and 1 each lacy frame from white and Luxe gold cardstock using Fancy Classic Rectangle Frame Die. Stack and glue both the die-cut frames keeping the gold one on the top. Next, glue the frame as shown.

Stamp the required images from Hollyhock Stem & Blooms Cling Stamp Set and Hollyhock Fence Cling Stamp Set using black archival ink and paint them using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Next, cut the painted images using their coordinating dies. Glue an extra die cut behind the painted image to add extra strength. Layer the painted images on the card front as shown.

For Hollyhock flowers, stamp a couple of medium and small flowers using Tea Rose on flower shaping paper and cut the flowers using its coordinating dies. Color the flowers using the same ink and add highlights using Red Geranium archival ink. Shape the flower using its coordinating mold and then add a few more strokes using the flower shaping kit. Once done, press the centers and add glitter balls. Finally, brush a thin layer of crystal lacquer on the flowers and keep them from drying.

Stamp, color and cut the foliage fromHollyhock Stem & Blooms Cling Stamp Set and color them using Leaf Green and highlight them using Olive green. 

Once all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown and complete it by adding a sentiment from Celebrate Love Sentiment Cling Stamp Set.
