Let’s Create

4. Adhere the 2 layers of Hues of Happiness DSP onto the card front flaps.
5. Use the Mango Melody Stampin’ Pad to stamp the “thanks” sentiment onto the Basic White scrap. Use scissors to cut diagonal slants on each end.
6. Take the Mango Melody card stock scrap and trim it to frame around the “thanks” layer. Attach to the “thanks” layer with Stampin’ Seal.
7. Die cut the stamped roses and leaves with a die cutting machine.
8. Now color:
   1. Use the Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blends to color the largest rose. Use the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to fill in with shading. 
   2. Color the center of this rose with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. 
   3. Color the mid-size rose with the Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends and use the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends to add shadow depth.
   4. Color the tightest rose bloom with the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends and the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to shade the deeper crevices.
   5. On the die cut leaves use the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and Light Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends to create a blended color to complement the leaves in the Hues of Happiness DSP. 
9. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the roses and leaves as a cluster on the right side flap.
10. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment onto the left side flap.
