Back Panel: Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4, embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder

DSP panel: True Love 5-1/4 x 2-1/8

The details:

• Color in a cluster of Daisies from the True Love DSP using Calypso Coral Ink and your Blending Brush, keeping the color darker in the center and lighter on the edges
• With your Blending Brush and Daffodil Delight Ink color the tips of some of the petals
• Color in the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends
• Fussy cut your flower cluster out with our paper snips

The sentiment:

• My sentiment came for the Many Messages stamp set
• Ink up your sentiment with versamark ink into Black card stock
• Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the sentiment and then heat emboss with your heat tool
• Die cut the sentiment out with the coordinating Message Die

Putting the card together:

• Adhere your DSP panel to the embossed Whisper White panel
• Wrap a piece of Calypso Coral ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack around the card where the two papers meet at the seam
• Attach this panel to the front of the card with Stampin Seal
