Stampin’ Blends:  Light So Saffron
Cardstock:  Fresh Freesia – one piece cut to 11” x 4 ¼” and scored at 5 ½”

Accessories:  Adhesive of choice, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Scalloped Contours dies, Fresh Freesia 3/8” Open Weave Ribbon, Blending Brushes, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots and low tack painter’s tape
 
Directions: 

1.    Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine to cut the largest scalloped edge die in the Scalloped Contours dies from the 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of Basic White cardstock.

2.    Secure the Scalloped piece to a piece of scrap paper by using the painter’s tape, placing the tape so it covers the scallops but leaves the center rectangle of the piece free.

3.    Use a Blending Brush to apply ink around the outside edge of the rectangle created by the painter’s tape.

4.    Use Fresh Freesia ink to randomly stamp the large outline single flower onto the rectangle created by the painter’s tape. (Stamp the inked stamp onto the scrap paper each time so as to provide a softer background, this is called “Stampng Off”.)

5.    Stamp randomly around the edge the Fresh Freesia ink and the splatter stamp around the edges – “stamping off” to create a lighter image.

6.    Carefully remove the painter’s tape and you will see that the scallops are left nice and white!  Adhere this piece to the card front (the fold of the card front will be on the left hand side)

7.    Use the Stampin, Cut & Emboss machine to cut the second smallest rectangle of the Scalloped Contours dies from the 3” x 2 ¾” piece of Basic White.

8.    Use Memento ink to stamp the “Thank You for Everything” sentiment onto the right side of the scalloped rectangle then adhere this piece at an angle to the card front.

9.    Use Memento ink to stamp the large single flower outline stamp onto the 2 ½” x 3 ½” piece of Basic White Cardstock and use Fresh Freesia ink to stamp the coordinating solid stamp to color the flower.  Color the middle of the flower with the Light So Saffron Blends marker. Use Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine to cut the flower out using the coordinating die from the Scalloped Contours dies and then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the flower to the sentiment piece on the card front (see photo for placement.

10. Tie a bow using the Fresh Freesia 3/8” Open Weave Ribbon and use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the card front.

11. Adhere the ¾” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP to the bottom of the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhere to the inside of the card.

12. Send to someone who deserves some special thanks!
