Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Purple Posy Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Mint Macaron Cardstock
- 1" x 3-3/4" from Purple Posy Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 1" x 2-1/4" from Purple Posy Cardstock
- 1" x 2-1/4" from Petal Pink Cardstock
- 1" x 2-1/4" from Rococo Rose Cardstock
Pick out the large circle with flowers inside die from the Sending Flowers Dies. Put it on top of the Mint Macaron rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered side to side and about 1/4" from the top. The side edges will overhang the cardstock a teeny tiny bit. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces,
Note: The pattern on the outer edge of the circle does not cut all the way out.
Mount the group of meerkats image from the The Gang's All Meer Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Memento Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle so the top of the tallest meerkat's head is about 3/4" from the top of the rectangle.
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. Work on one area at a time so the inks will be wet and will blend easier.
Use the Light Soft Suede and Dark and Light Crumb Cake Markers to color in the meerkats.
Use the Dark and Light Soft Suede and Dark and Light Crumb Cake Markers to color in the ground. Draw in any empty spaces left by the stamped images as needed. WITHOUT ADHERING, place the cut out Mint Macaron rectangle over the image to make sure you color in all the white space that will show through the cut out in the Mint Macaron rectangle. Be careful NOT to color the very edges of the white rectangle though.
Use the Light and Dark Seaside Spray Markers to color in the sky. WITHOUT ADHERING, place the cut out Mint Macaron rectangle over the image to make sure you color in all the white space that will show through the cut out in the Mint Macaron rectangle. Be careful NOT to color the very edges of the white rectangle though.
Use the Color Lifter Marker to remove any excess color as needed..
Adhere the Mint Macaron rectangle over the top of the colored white rectangle so the meerkats show through the opening.
Adhere the matted white rectangle to the front of the Purple Posy card.
Cut a 4" piece of Purple Posy 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon so it has sharp angles on either end.
Use a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the piece of ribbon to the card front so it overlaps the bottom of the circle cut out.
Mount the "from all of us" sentiment from the The Gang's All Meer Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Rococo Rose Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the long Purple Posy strip.
Pick out the long, scalloped edge rectangle die from the Sending Flowers Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
Adhere the sentiment cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom of the circle cut out and overlaps the top of the ribbon already on the card.
Pick out the two groupings of flower tops dies from the Sending Flowers Dies. Put them on top of single layers of Rococo Rose, Purple Posy, and Petal Pink Cardstock on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. Repeat until you have cut out one group of flowers from the Petal Pink Cardstock, one group of flowers from the Rococo Rose Cardstock, and two groups of flowers from the Purple Posy Cardstock,
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the flower tops over the tops of the flowers in the circle cut out on the Mint Macaron rectangle.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up Mint Macaron and Petal Pink sequins from a sheet of Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flowers with holes in the middle. Use Mint Macaron sequins on top of Purple Posy flowers and Petal Pink sequins on top of Petal Pink and Rococo Rose flowers.
