- 4" x 5-1/4" from Whisper White Card Stock
- 3" x 4" from Whisper White Card Stock
Mount the solid flower image from the Avant Garden Photopolymer Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad. Stamp it repeatedly over the right side of the large white rectangle in a mound of overlapping flowers. Stamp some flowers without re-inking.
Mount the cluster of stamens image from the Avant Garden Photopolymer Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad and stamp it in the centers of the flowers. Stamp some without re-inking.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the front of the Sweet Sugarplum card.
Mount the Easter sentiment from the Suite Sayings Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the smaller white rectangle.
Pick out the smooth oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits that cuts out a smooth oval that is 2-3/8" x 3-1/4". Place the stamped white rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of your Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. Place the smooth oval framelit on top so the sentiment is in the center. Place the other Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the scattered dots image from the Avant Garden Photopolymer Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad. Stamp off onto scratch paper first and then stamp randomly all over the sentiment oval. Remember to re-ink and stamp off each time.
Use the side of the brush tip of the Rich Razzleberry Marker to outline the oval.
Adhere the oval to the left side of the card front so it covers the left side of the mound of flowers.
Cut a 4" piece of the Sweet Sugarplum ribbon from the Succulent Garden 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack. Cut a 4" piece of the silver ribbon from the 3/8" Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack. Lay the metallic ribbon on top of the sugarplum ribbon. Tie a half knot in the center. Trim the ends. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon to the lower left side of the sentiment oval.
