CARD

Cut a 8” x 6” piece of green cardstock and score and fold in half. Ink up the Fabric stamp and edge the cards as shown using Forget Me Not ink.

Cut a 3” x 5” piece of purple cardstock and distress the edges.

Stamp the Tulip window onto a scrap piece of purple cardstock with black ink and emboss with black embossing powder. Paint the tulip flower and leaves with the white paint from the watercolour wheel. You may have to paint several layers. Once this is dry do a light coat of green over the leaves. Cut out and mount to light green cardstock and distress the edges. Mount to 3” x 5” purple cardstock.

Punch two white photo corners and attach in opposite corners. Stamp ‘hi’ on to tiny tag using Forget Me Not ink and edge with some stamping from the Fabric stamp. Thread onto petite ricrac and wrap around the purple cardstock. Attach all to front of green card and sew using machine zigzag stitch.

Cut a 9x9” piece of purple cardstock and distress the edges.

Stamp the Tulip window across the bottom of the pruple cardstock five times with black ink and emboss with black embossing powder. Paint the tulip flower and leaves with the white paint from the watercolour wheel. You may have to paint several layers. Once this is dry do a light coat of green over the leaves.

Wrap a piece of petite ricrac around the base as shown.

Mount the photo to a piece of green cardstock and distress the edges, then mount to purple cardstock.

Punch two white photo corners and attach in opposite corners.

Using machine zigzag stitch attach the purple cardstock to the green 12x12” piece.

Using the large merchandising tag as a template, cut two tags from white cardstock. Stamp one with “Floriade Blooms” and edge with the Fabric stamp. Cover the other tag completely with the fabric stamp.
