Adhere the Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper to the front of the Real Red card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Vibrant Vases or Varied Vases Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the tall, skinny set of two flowers on stems image from the Varied Vases Set on Block G. Ink it up using the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the right side of the large white rectangle so the top of the tall flower is about 1/4" from the top edge and the flowers are about 7/8" from the right side.
Mount the tiny, solid, single leaf image from the Varied Vases Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the right side of the stems near the bend in the one stem.
Mount the tiny, solid, set of two small flowers image from the Varied Vases Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the previously stamped green flowers.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Vibrant Vases Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it on the stamped white rectangle so it is on the left side of the stems and is about 3/4" from the left side and 3/4" from the bottom.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the Old Olive rectangle.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of Real Red 3/8" Cotton Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the matted white cardstock layers so the ribbon is about 1/4" from the bottom edge. Flip the cardstock over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the Old Olive layer. Adhere it to the front of the card so it is centered.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Real Red 3/8" Cotton Ribbon.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon on the card front and tie it in place using a half knot so it is centered under the sentiment. Trim the ends.
Mount the outline short, rounded vase with diamond pattern image from the Vibrant Vases Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the long strip of white cardstock.
Mount the solid, short, rounded vase image from the Vibrant Vases Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped vase image.
Unlock the Vases Builder Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped vase image into the punch and get it centered in the corresponding short, rounded vase punching area. Punch.
Use a single Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the vase punch out to the front of the card so it is centered over the stems and overlaps the top edge of the ribbon.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 red rhinestones from a sheet of Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the white layer above the sentiment.
