Other Supplies Used: Smooth White Cardstock, Funnel Tray, Die Cutting Machine, Score Board, Paper Trimmer, Tweezers, Glossy Accent

Instructions: The ready card base from smooth white cardstock measures, 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″. Choose the designer paper from Hollyhock Paper Collection and cut to size measuring 4 3/4″ by 7 3/4″. Glue the panel on Luxe Gold cardstock creating a sleek border of 1/16″ on all the sides. Layer the panel on the ready card base using double-sided tapes for extra dimensions. 

Cut all the required die cuts as shown in the pic from white and gold cardstock using Fancy Classic Oval Frame Die.  Glue the delicate outer gold frame on a white die-cut to add extra strength and then paste it on the purple solid die cut that has been cut using the outer rim from the same set and green pattern paper from the designer paper series. Cut the center oval frame in white and paste it directly on the pattern paper in the window. Adhere gold die-cut on the back peeking through the whites, to the fancy oval frame. Layer the frame using double-sided tape.

Stamp a few fillers from Floral Shoppe Fillers Cling Stamp Set using Leaf green and cut it using its coordinating die set. Sponge adhesive that dries clear on the fillers and sprinkle mixed shades of prills. Dust extras and also sprinkle some Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear Powder and keep them for drying.

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 flower bouquet in the center and complete the card by adding a sentiment from Celebrate Love Sentiment Cling Stamp Set.
