INSTRUCTIONS:
*1. Cut your So Saffron card base at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
2. Flowers.
~Cut a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ So Saffron cardstock.
~Rub your cardstock with your Embossing Buddy.
~Stamp your Flowers with VersaMark ink.
~Cover stamped image with Shimmery Black Embossing Powder. Put the excess back in the jar. Watch This Video if you need help with Basic Heat Embossing.
~Use your Heat Tool to melt the Embossing Powder. This one will kind of flatten out and you can see iridescent sparkles will appear. It is really hard to tell if it is completely melted. So check it by cooling for a minute and gently touching it with your finger. If it feels dusty, heat it some more.
3. Words:
~Stamp your Words with Memento Black ink.
NOTE: I had the hardest time getting a good stamped image. I would recommend using your Stamparatus so you can stamp several times and get a good image. I guess I need to make a video showing how easy it is to use the Stamparatus.
4. Die Cutting:
~Choose the Stitched Rectangle Die that fits inside the largest Ornate Layers die.
~Cut Your stamped image out with the Stitched Rectangle Die.
~Use Blueberry Bliss cardstock to cut the Large Ornate Style Die.
~Attach the two layers together, then attach them to your card base.
Your Easter Blessings Ornate Style Card is finished.
