1) Cut a piece of Rich Razzleberry Card Stock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2". Score and fold in half to make card.
2) Cut a piece of Whisper White Card Stock to 4 x 5 1/4".
3) Cut a piece of Orchid Opulence Card Stock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8".
4) Cut the bottom right corner of a Flower Fantasy Printed Window Sheet to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8".
5) Cut a piece of Whisper White Card Stock to 1 3/4 x 2".
6) Ink up the "F" stamp from the Vintage Vogue Set using the Rich Razzleberry Marker on the "F" and the Orchid Opulence Marker on the "friends."
7) Huff on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamp onto the small white rectangle.
8) Cut a piece of Rich Razzleberry Card Stock to 2 x 2 1/2".
9) Punch one of the short ends with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.
10) Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the punched razzleberry rectangle.
11) Ink up the small flower image from the Vintage Vogue Set using the Orchid Opulence Ink Pad and stamp onto a scrap of Whisper White Card Stock.
12) Lift the stamp slightly and rotate a little and stamp again.
13) Cut out the stamped flower image.
14) Adhere the flower image to the upper left corner of the main image.
15) Pry open the prongs on a medium green Circle Ice Rhinestone Brad and use the Paper-Piercing Tool to pry up the small prongs holding the jewel in place. Pop out the jewel.
16) Adhere the jewel to the center of the flower with a Mini Glue Dot.
17) Cut a short strip of Old Olive Satin Ribbon and double it over.
18) Adhere the doubled ribbon to the back of the main image by placing a piece of Sticky Strip across the ribbon ends. Do not remove the protective backing from the Sticky Strip.
19) Adhere the main image to the center of the Flower Fantasy Window Sheet about 3/8" from the top using Stampin' Dimensionals.
20) Put adhesive on the back side of the window sheet where it is hidden by the main image and adhere the window sheet to the Orchid Opulence rectangle.
21) Adhere the Orchid Opulence rectangle to the large white rectangle.
22) Adhere the card front to the card.
When you use markers to color directly onto the rubber of an image, it's a good idea to huff (blow) onto the rubber before stamping to make sure the ink is moist. The moisture in your breath will remoisten the ink. Just be careful not to touch the inked surface with your lips or tongue. Ink does NOT taste good!
The Scallop Trim Border Punch is available for FREE right now as a Sale-A-Bration item with qualifying orders. This Punch coordinates with the Scallop Trim Corner Punch for sale on page 11 of the Occasions Mini and will be available again for purchase when the new big catalog is released this summer.
You could poke a hole in the center of the flower to insert the Rhinestone Brad if you prefer. However, it can be difficult to get the prongs of the brads to go through the satin ribbon. If you pop the jewel out of the brad, it will also be less bulky for mailing.
When you use Window Sheets, always try to hide the adhesive holding them to the card under some ribbon or card stock. Otherwise, the adhesive shows through.
You might want to have a clean tissue handy to buff off the window sheet when you are finished to remove any fingerprints.
