Put a tiny dab of Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the upper left and lower left corners of the large, vertical white rectangle. Adhere the piece of black cursive text blocks vellum to the white rectangle on the left side so the left, top, and bottom edges are even.
Lightly lift the right edge of the vellum up and run a thin line of Multipurpose Liquid Glue vertically down the white rectangle so it will be just under the right edge of the vellum. Press the vellum to it.

Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the white rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the Smoky Slate card.

Tip: Make sure the sentiment will fit inside the small circle die.
