Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
Mount the large bouquet of flowers image from the Ornate Style Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the horizontal white rectangle so the daisies and three leaves are on the upper right side.
Make sure you have some paper (Grid Paper works great) at your work space.to protect the work surface. The Stampin' Blends Markers will bleed through the cardstock that you are coloring so you need to protect your work surface.
Place the stamped white rectangle on the work paper and start coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers. The markers have a brush tip for coloring in larger areas and a fine tip for coloring in smaller areas.
Use the Dark and Light Petal Pink and Dark and Light Calypso Coral Markers to color in the chrysanthemums.
Use the Light Daffodil Delight Marker to color in the centers of the daisies and to very lightly add highlights of yellow on the daisy petal creases.
Use the Dark and Light Seaside Spray Markers to color in the remaining flowers.
Use the Dark and Light Soft Sea Foam Markers and the Light Old Olive Marker to color in the leaves and stems.
Use the Color Lifter Marker to remove any excess color as needed.
Adhere the colored, stamped white rectangle to the Pear Pizzazz rectangle.
Cut a 5-1/2" piece of the Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the bottom of the matted white rectangle so the bottom of the ribbon is about 3/4" from the bottom edge. Secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add SNAIL to the back of the Pear Pizzazz rectangle and adhere to the front of the Soft Sea Foam card.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Accented Blooms Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the Soft Sea Foam strip in the center. Be sure to leave room to punch it out.
Unlock the Tailored Tag Punch. Hold it upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon on the right side.
Cut a 3" piece of the Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card on the left side of the sentiment punch out. Tie the ribbon in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large gem from a sheet of Gilded Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the upper left corner of the card front.
