Cut cardstock, designer paper, and vellum pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Highland Heather Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/2" of peeling white-painted wood plank pattern from Wood Textures 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" from Vellum Cardstock
- 4" x 4-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 4" from Whisper White Cardstock
Mount the large flower bouquet image from the Wonderful Romance Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp onto Grid Paper once. Then, WITHOUT re-inking, stamp it in the center of the large white rectangle.
Pick out the matching large bouquet framelit from the Wonderful Floral Framelits. Place the stamped 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 to remove pieces.
Place the cut out bouquet image on top of some paper on your work surface (Grid Paper works great). You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
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 colors first and then the light colors to blend the colors and color in the spaces. Work on one area at a time so the inks will be wet and will blend easier.
Use the Light and Dark Old Olive Markers to color in the bigger leaves and stems.
Use the Light and Dark Highland Heather Markers to color in the flowers.
Use the Light and Dark Soft Sea Foam Markers to color in the tiny leaves and stems.
Use the Color Lifter Marker as needed to remove excess ink.
Adhere the colored bouquet cut out to the vellum rectangle so the large flower on the outer left side touches the left side of the vellum, the tiny leaves on the outer right side touch the right side of the vellum, and the point of the largest leaf is about 1/4" from the top of the vellum.
Put SNAIL on the back of the vellum rectangle where it will be hidden by the bouquet cut out. Adhere the vellum to the center of the Wood Textures Designer Paper rectangle.
Mount the "thinking of you" sentiment from the Wonderful Romance Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on one side of the strip of white cardstock making sure to leave room to punch out the sentiment.
Unlock the Pretty Label Punch. Holding the punch 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.
WITHOUT adhering it, tuck the sentiment punch out under the bottom leaf on the bouquet so it covers the stems and the bottom of the bottom flower and the right edge of the sentiment punch out touches the right edge of the vellum.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of Highland Heather Ribbon from the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the matted designer paper/ vellum rectangles so it goes across the center of the sentiment punch out. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add SNAIL to the back of the designer paper. Adhere it to the front of the Highland Heather card so about 1/8" of Highland Heather shows on both sides and the top and bottom is even with the top and bottom of the card front.
Remove the sentiment punch out. Put some SNAIL on the back of it and adhere it to the card front so it is centered over the ribbon and is tucked under the bottom leaf on the bouquet so it covers the stems and the bottom of the bottom flower and the right edge of the sentiment punch out touches the right edge of the vellum.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a Fresh Fig flower from a sheet of Frosted Flower Embellishments making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the sentiment punch out to the right of the sentiment.
Cut a 3" piece of Highland Heather Ribbon from the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon on the card front on the left side of the sentiment punch out and tie it in place using a half knot . Trim the ends.
