Instructions: The ready top fold card measures 8″ by 6″. To prepare the white card base, cut one piece measuring 8″ by 6″ and the second piece 8 1/2″ by 6″. Score the second piece at 1/2″ on the longer side and glue the first piece on top. For the topmost layer, choose the pattern paper from the paper collection and cut 71/4″ by 5 1/4″, and distress the edges using sharp scissors. Next, cut a white panel 1/16″ smaller on all sides. Dry emboss it through the embossing folder and layer it on the card front as shown.

Die-cut two pieces of the fancy frame from white cardstock using Intricate Swirl Frames Die. Stack both the die cuts together to add extra strength. Choose the pattern paper and mat it behind the window. Layer the die-cut on the ready card panel as shown.

Stamp the image from the Vining Clematis Banner Cling Stamp Set on white cardstock using black archival ink and paint the image using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Die-cut the image using its coordinating die. Chop the painted floral banner from the center and glue one each on the top and the bottom inside edge of the frame.

Stamp the florals with Cactus Flower Archival ink on flower-making paper using Clematis Cling Stamp Set. Cut the florals using its coordinating die set and color the flowers using Magenta Hue and highlight them using Majestic Violet Archival inks.

Cascading Wisterias are first stamped with Cactus Flower Archival ink, cut with its coordinating die, and then colored using the same ink. Once all colored these are shaped using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit and add glitter balls to the centers.

Once all the elements are ready, assemble a small cluster of flowers on the left side of the card front and finish the card by adding glitters.
