Assembly:
Emboss a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with the Scripty 3D embossing folder and snail to one of the pieces of Highland Heather cardstock and set aside. Do NOT snail it to the card base yet.
On the 10″ x 3″piece of Very Vanilla, stamp one flower and 3 leaves from the To A Wild Rose stamp set. The flower is done with 3-step stamping. To begin, use the more ‘solid’ flower stamp of the flower stamps and Highland Heather ink. Stamp off on a piece of scrap paper, then stamp on the 10″ x 3″ Very Vanilla once. Using the next semi-solid flower stamp, stamp with Highland Heather ink on top of the previously stamped flower image. For the third stamp, use the flower outline stamp and Gorgeous Grape ink to stamp the flower outline over the previously stamped flower image. Crop the flower with the corresponding die from the Wild Rose dies. See photo for the ‘stages’ of stamps used for the flower.
The leaves are done with 2-step stamping. For the leaves, use the lighter ‘solid’ leaf stamp and Old Olive ink to stamp 3 leaf images on the 10″ x 3″ Very Vanilla cardstock. Use the leaf outline stamp and Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the outline over the stamped leaf images. Crop the leaves with the corresponding die from the Wild Rose dies. See photo for the ‘stages’ of stamps used for the leaves.
Arrange the leaves and flower toward the left side of the card front. When you are satisfied with the arrangement, snail the leaves in place and use dimensionals to attach the flower.
Use Gorgeous Grape ink to stamp the ‘Thinking of you’ greeting from the Colorful Seasons stamp set. Crop with the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles framelits. Use dimensionals to attach to the card front. Refer to photo for placement.
Snail a piece of purple Tri-Color ribbon to the upper right corner of the card front. Make a small bow with the same ribbon and use a glue dot to attach to the ribbon on the card front. Snail the card front to the card base. Place three large pearls on the card front – refer to photo for placement.
Inside:
Snail the remaining piece of Highland Heather cardstock to the inside of the card. Using Old Olive ink and Mossy Meadow ink, stamp a leaf as you did before to the upper left side of the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, about 1/4″ from the top. Snail the Highland Heather strip near the top of this piece, then snail the piece to the inside of the card.
Envelope:
Use Old Olive ink and Mossy Meadow ink to stamp a leaf as you did before to the lower left corner of the envelope.
