P retty card perfect for a wedding or anniversary using Stampin' Up! products, including Foil Sheets that can be earned for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2019.
Cut cardstock and Foil Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Grapefruit Grove Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Mossy Meadow Cardstock

- 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" of Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets from Grapefruit Grove & Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets
- 1-1/4" x 3-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Adhere the Mossy Meadow rectangle to the front of the Grapefruit Grove card.
If desired, rub the Embossing Buddy all over the large white rectangle.
Mount the large flower bouquet image from the Wonderful Romance Set on Block E. Ink it up with the VersaMark Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large white rectangle.
Lay the stamped bouquet on top of some Grid Paper in the center. Sprinkle on some Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder so it covers all of the stamped image. Tap off excess powder. Return the excess powder to the container to use again later.
Heat the powder with the Heat Tool until it is completely melted (smooth and shiny).
Pick out the matching large bouquet framelit from the Wonderful Floral Framelits. Place the heat embossed bouquet image on the Cutting Pad on the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the bouquet framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped bouquet. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Use the Die Brush and paper-piercing attachment on the Take Your Pick to remove pieces.
Squeeze the lid of the Grapefruit Grove Ink Pad to get a pool of ink in the lid. Open the pad but leave the lid exposed. Pick up some ink from the lid using the Blender Pen. Color in the flowers in the bouquet. Get more ink on the Blender Pen as needed.
Tip: Stroke the Blender Pen in one direction only. If you go back and forth, then the cardstock could start to pill and tear. Scribble on Grid Paper to clean the tip of the Blender Pen until no more color is coming off.
Squeeze the lid of the Old Olive Ink Pad to get a pool of ink in the lid. Open the pad but leave the lid exposed. Pick up some ink from the lid using the Blender Pen. Color in the smaller leaves and stems in the bouquet. Get more ink on the Blender Pen as needed.

Adhere the colored bouquet cut out to the front of the card so the little leaves on the left are about 1/4" from the left side, the tiny leaves on the right are about 1/4" from the right side, and the flower on the top left is about 3/4" from the top.
Place the piece of Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot so that the shiny foil side is facing up.
Pick out the large oval with rectangles cut into the edges thinlit from the Wonderful Floral Framelits. Place it on top of the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet on the Big Shot. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush and paper-piercing attachment on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Wrap both the Gold and Copper Metallic Threads around your fingers a few times. Cut the threads loose from the spools.
Put some strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the foil oval cut out. Remove the protective backings.
Adhere the loops of metallic thread to the back of the oval cut out so they will poke out on one side.
Add more Tear & Tape Adhesive strips to the back of the oval foil sheet cut out if needed and adhere it to the bottom of the card front on the right side so that it tucks under the leaves of the bouquet just a bit and is about 3/8" in from the right side and 3/8" up from the bottom with the loops of metallic thread sticking out on the left side.
If desired, rub the Embossing Buddy all over the white strip.
Mount the "together is a wonderful place to be" sentiment from the Wonderful Romance Set on Block H. Ink it up with the VersaMark Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white strip.
Lay the stamped sentiment on top of some Grid Paper in the center. Sprinkle on some Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder so it covers all of the stamped sentiment. Tap off excess powder. Return the excess powder to the container to use again later.
Heat the powder with the Heat Tool until it is completely melted (smooth and shiny).
Pick out the large, open, rounded ends banner framelit from the Petals & More Thinlits. Place the heat embossed sentiment on the Cutting Pad on the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the banner framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the sentiment banner across the center of the foil oval.
Carefully peel up one of the seals from a sheet of Floral Romance Seals being sure to get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere the seal to the card front so it overlaps the upper left side of the banner sentiment and the bottom of the stems on the bouquet a bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 gold pearls from a sheet of Metallic Pearls making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flowers.
