Cut cardstock, designer paper, and doily pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- card from Fresh Fig Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Tranquil Tide Cardstock
- half a Delicate White Doily
- 2" x 4" of white fleur-de-lis flowers on Fresh Fig background design from Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Tranquil Tide Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- scrap of Whisper White Cardstock at least 3-1/2" long
Fill an Aqua Painter with water.
Mount the flower image from the You've Got This Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Fresh Fig Ink Pad. Stamp the top of the flower on the white rectangle.
Squeeze the Aqua Painter gently to get the water flowing. Then, paint over the flower image drawing color from the lines towards the center of the flower to lightly color the flower. Scribble on Grid Paper to clean the tip of the Aqua Painter until no more color is coming off. Set the image aside to dry.
Place the large Tranquil Tide rectangle inside the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside directly on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
VERY IMPORTANT: You are using only ONE Cutting Pad. If you try to use two, the sandwich will be too thick and you could damage the Big Shot.
If you haven't already done so, cut a Delicate White Doily in half. Adhere one half to the center of the dry embossed Tranquil Tide rectangle about 1/2" from the top and put the other half away to use on a future project.
Adhere the strip of Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper to the Tranquil Tide layer so it covers the bottom of the doily half (top edge of designer paper should be about 1-1/2" from the top of the Tranquil Tide rectangle).
Adhere the Tranquil Tide layer to the front of the Fresh Fig card.
Pick out the scalloped oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits that cuts out a scalloped oval that is 3-1/4" long. Place the smaller Tranquil Tide rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped oval framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
If the flower image is dry, proceed to the next step. If not, you can speed up drying using the Heat Tool if you wish.
Use the Tranquil Tide Marker to color in the stem below the flower.
Pick out the oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits that cuts out an oval that is 3" long. Place the stamped flower rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the oval framelit on top so the flower is centered. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the flower oval to the center of the Tranquil Tide scalloped oval.
Adhere the matted flower ovals to the front of the card so they are centered over the designer paper strip.
Pick out a Fresh Fig bow from the 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows. Peel the protective backing from the adhesive dimensional on the back of the bow. Adhere the bow to the card front so it is centered and overlaps the bottom of the flower ovals a bit.
Pick out the sentiment of choice from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Set. Ink it up with the Fresh Fig Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the scrap of white cardstock.
Unlock the Classic Label Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch. Center the sentiment in the punching area. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the card so it is centered below the bow using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
