INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut your Pacific Point card base at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
2. Cut your Tempting Turquoise at 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″. Cut two opposite sides using your Adorning Accents Edgelits. Make sure the “bump out” is in the same place on each side. This is where having two comes in nicely!
3. Stamp your Flower image on Whisper White card stock with StazOn Black Ink. I colored with the Marker brush tip in the spot on the flowers I wanted to be darker. I then used the Blender Pen to blend the color in the white area. Be careful and gentle as too much pressure or working in an area too long will cause the paper to start coming apart. I did the center flower and medium rose in Pacific Point. I did the smaller blueish flowers in Pool Party. The small pink flowers were in Blushing Bride. (I think.) I just colored the leaves without using the Blender Pen.
4. When finished coloring, cut out the Flowers with the desired Window Frames Framelit. Also cut TWO of the same size Framelit from Pacific Point card stock.
5. Take the two Pacific Point Window Frames and cut them in half. Then trim straight down from the outside of the points. Adhere one at a time to the back of your stamped Whisper White Window Frame leaving the desired mat around the White. Continue until all four pieces are adhered to the back. HERE is a link showing the same technique with the Top Note die.
6. Stamp your sentiment In Pacific Point ink on Whisper White card stock. Cut out with the coordinating Bitty Banners Framelit.
7. Position all pieces as desired and adhere them to the card front.
8. Enjoy your brightly colored Spring Flowers card!
Happy Stamping!
