Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- card from Purple Posy Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Highland Heather Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" square from Purple Posy Cardstock
- 3/4" x 1-3/4" from Purple Posy Cardstock
Mount the large flower flourish image from the Flourishing Phrases Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Purple Posy Ink Pad. Stamp it on the large white rectangle so the top flower is about ¼” from the top and the right edge is about ¼” from the right edge.
Tip: If you don't have the Purple Posy Ink Pad, you can get a similar look by stamping off with the Highland Heather Ink Pad onto scratch paper before stamping on your project.
Cut a piece of Purple Posy 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon 4-1/4” long with a sharp downward angle on the left end.
Lay it on the stamped cardstock about 1” from the bottom so the sharp angled end is on the left and nearly touches the left side. Flip the cardstock over and adhere the right end of the ribbon in place with a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Put a small piece of Tear & Tape horizontally on the front of the white layer under the ribbon to hold the left end of the ribbon down.
Remove the protective backing from the adhesive and add SNAIL to the back of the white rectangle. Adhere it to the Highland Heather rectangle and then to the front of the Purple Posy card.
Mount the large, solid flower image from the Flourishing Phrases Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white square.
Cut out the stamped flower by hand using Paper Snips. Leave a small amount of white around the edges.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the flower cut out to the front of the card in the lower right corner so it is centered over the ribbon.
Pick out the larger, six-pointed flower die from the Flourish Dies. Put it on top of the Purple Posy square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use a small dab of SNAIL in the center of the back of the flower cut out to adhere it to the center of the big stamped flower on the card.
Mount the “hello” sentiment on Block A. Ink it up with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp it on the scrap of Purple Posy Cardstock. Cut it out by hand using Paper Snips so the left edge has a sharp downward angle. Leave some space to the right of the word.
Adhere the word cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the top of the ribbon just to the left of the flower and the right edge of the sentiment strip slides under the large flower on the left edge.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up a large Rhinestone Basic Jewel being sure to get adhesive as well. Adhere it to the center of the flower.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up 2 small and 2 medium Rhinestone Basic Jewels being sure to get adhesive as well. Adhere them randomly to the card front.
