INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut your Very Vanilla card base at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
2. Time to cut out your Striped Scallop Thinlit. Watch this Video to help you. Here are your Big Shot layers: Magnetic Platform (or Multipurpose Platform with all tabs closed), cutting plate, 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Pink Pirouette card stock, Wax paper or Parchment Paper, Striped Scallop Thinlit, cutting plate. Run through your Big Shot. You can punch out all the card stock you can see now if you want. Use your stylus or toothpick to gently poke through the holes on the back and release the card stock from the Thinlit. I poked the holes around the edges, then gently pulled the card stock off. Place on your card front and gently flatten out. Now put a small drop of Tombow Glue on the ends and where the holes were on the Thinlit. Gently place on your card front and position.
3. Stamp your Stippled Blossoms on Very Vanilla card stock first using Blushing Bride ink for the more solid stamp and then Strawberry Slush ink for the lined stamp. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the layers. I stamped 2 large and 3 smaller flowers. Cut out with your Paper Snips.
4. Use your Stamping Sponge wedge and Blushing Bride ink to lightly sponge around the edges and randomly in the center of your card front.
5. Stamp your sentiment on Very Vanilla card stock with Strawberry Slush ink. Punch out with the Large Oval Punch. Punch out a Scallop Oval from Blushing Bride card stock. Sponge with Blushing Bride. Attach layers together with Dimensionals.
6. Position all pieces as desired. Attach the flowers directly to the card front with Tombow Glue. Attach the punched sentiment with Dimensionals. Attach the small flower to the Oval with 1 Dimensional on the Oval and 2 stacked Dimensionals to touch the card front.
7. Admire your vintage-looking card.
Happy Card Making!
