Instructions: Cut white card base at 5 1/2" x 11". Score at 5 1/2" to create a top folding card. Cut base layer from green cardstock to measure 5 1/4" x 5 1/4". Cut the rose colored designer paper at 5" x 5".
Stamp the 3 images from the Peony Bud and Blossoms Collection. I used Espresso Truffle Ink on X-Press It Blending Cardstock. The image was colored with the following color combo (RV00, RV11, RV13, RV17, W4, Y000, Y00, Y04, Y15, Y18, G20, G24, G91, G93, G95). Die cut with the coordinating die. Cut 3 additional blossoms for each image from Green Cardstock. Layer the 3 green images under each blossom and pop up with a small amount of mounting tape between each. This will add great dimension. Avoid placing the tape too close to the edge to avoid the tape from showing.
Cut a green designer paper from the Sweet Peony Paper Collection using the Eyelet Oval Die. Cut an additional layer from foam matting. Sponge the top of the green cardstock with 3D Green Grass Metallic Paint. Sponge the edges with Olive Grove Memento Ink. Splatter the rose colored designer paper with more of the Metallic Green Grass Paint that has been thinned down with water. A toothbrush works well for the splatter. Adhere the foam to the green designer paper using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive. This will allow the green to show through the eyelets. Use a white gel pen to accent the lines on the green mat. Adhere rhinestones to the center of each eyelet. Adhere the layers.
Cut the sentiment from the Sweet Peony Designer Paper. Mat with white and green cardstock. Pop the sentiment on the page as shown using mounting tape.
