Start with a Shaded Spruce cs card base. Cut a Gold Foil panel, Soft Sea Foam cs panel, and an Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP panel.
Create the suit by die cutting the 'V' from the Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP with the Suit & Tie dies. Die cut the bowtie from the Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP scrap (left over from the die cutting suit) with the Suit & Tie dies. Die cut Soft Sea Green cs stitched shirt center seam and collar with the Suit & Tie dies. Die cut Gold Foil lapels and buttons with the Suit & Tie dies.
Glue the collar & stitched shirt center seam to the Sea Foam Green cs panel and then cut off the excess stitched shirt center seam flush with the panel (using the DSP suit as a guide) with paper snips. Glue the DSP suit panel to the Soft Sea Green cs shirt panel. Use a Stampin' Dimensional to add the bowtie to the shirt panel overlapping the collar. Glue the Gold Foil lapels and buttons to the shirt.
Don't forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the A Wish for Everything stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink and add a DSP strip to the inside & back of the card to pull the theme through.
