Let’s Create

1. Affix all stamps to acrylic blocks.
2. Fold and burnish card base at the score line using bone folder.
3. Using the Soft Sea Foam with dots all over dsp, glue it from the upper left corner of the Soft Sea Foam panel to the lower right hand corner.  Make sure the tip of the Soft Sea Foam panel is in the center of the dsp at the top and bottom.  See photo above.
4. Add 1 of the Soft Sea Foam and Pretty Peacock with leaf pattern all over strips to one side of the strip added in Step 3.  See photo above.
5. Glue the other Soft Sea Foam and Pretty Peacock with leaf pattern all over strips to the other side of the strip added in Step 3.  The Soft Sea Foam with dots all over dsp will be sandwiched between the 2 Soft Sea Foam and Pretty Peacock with leaf pattern all over strips.  See photo above.
6. Trim the excess dsp from the Soft Sea Foam panel so you get the rectangle shape again.
7. Glue the ¼” x 3 ¾” piece of Pretty Peacock across the lower portion of the Soft Sea Foam panel just slightly below center.  See photo above.
8. Add the panel from Step 7 to the Pretty Peacock panel.  Then attach to the card front centering on all sides.
9. Stamp 1 large and 1 small flower and 1 of each of the leaves by inking the stamps with Soft Sea Foam and sponging the edges and centers with Pretty Peacock.
10. Use the coordinating dies to cut out the stamped images.
11. Add the large flower to bottom of the Soft Sea Foam panel with dimensionals so it is on top of the diagonal strips.  Repeat with the small flower so it is above the large flower.  See photo above.
12. Use glue dots to add the triple leaf to the large flower and the double leaf to the small flower.  See photo above.
13. Add some of the Pretty Peacock loose frosted dots to the card front
14. Use the small flower and double leaf to decorate the inside of the card.
15. Use the large flower and the triple leaf to decorate the envelope.

And I couldn’t resist CASEing this stunning card by Kim McGillis, unsing the Flight & Airy free Sale-a-bration DSP, the Scalloped Contours Dies (retiring April 30), and the Something Fancy Stamp Set (NOT retiring! YAY).
