Instructions: The ready side fold card measures 6″ by 8″. Cut a piece of green pattern paper, measuring 6 1/2″ by 7 1/2″ and layer it on the top of card base to create a card panel. Next layer is with white cardstock is 1/8th of an inch smaller to the green layer.

Cut a piece of orange pattern paper measuring, 5″ by 7″. Further cut 5 strips of 1″ by 7″ from same pattern paper. Distress all the edges with Rusty Hinge and further distress them with sharp scissors. Layer all the strips as shown on the white cardstock panel.

Choose a busy print from the designer paper collection and hand-tear as shown. Layer it on the top panel and tuck a white border lace from Fleur Border Dies.

For the window, cut 2-3 windows from the Botanical Window Die and stack them together using any glue that dries clear. Color the top layer using Rusty Hinge. Sponge it with dry clear adhesive and sprinkle Frosting Powder. Heat it if you want to add extra frosted look. CUt another piece from the same window die, n this time remove the center window. Stamp the sentiment from Today’s quotes with Stazon Black Cheery. Glue this panel behind the frosted window and adhere the ready window to the card front.

For flowers, you need 2 second smallest petals from Small Camelia stamp set. Stamp them using Archival Plum and cut them using it’s coordinating die. Color them using harvest first and add extra depth to edges using Vibrant Fuschia. Shape all the flowers using Deluxe flower shaping kit and add Stamens to the center. Leaves are stamped from Classic rose stamp and die set and colored using Fern Green and Olive Green. Shape them using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Dress all the flowers with Crystal Clear and assemble the flower bouquet around the window as shown. The small white filler flowers are from Wildwood Floral die.

For Vellum Butterfly, Stamp the image with Versafine on vellum, sprinkle white heat embossing powder and heat set with heat gun. Cut the image using coordinating die.
