Instructions: The green bordered patterned paper is the background. Cut a strip of the green patterned paper that is 1.5" wide and mat it in white cardstock. Adhere across the background. Die cut 2 of the Decorative Medallion from white cardstock, and 2 of the Decorative Medallion mats from light pink cardstock. Adhere the 2 pieces together using a glue pen, and then adhere one to either side of the layout using foam tape. Cut a strip of the light green patterned paper that is 11 x 1.5", and tear each end. Adhere up the middle of the layout using foam tape. Mat the 4 x 6" photo in 2 layers of white cardstock. Adhere to the layout using 3D foam squares. Find and die cut out the large light blue tag. Adhere to the top of the matted photo and add a burlap string bow. Find and die cut out the small "Finding Beauty in the Simple Things" tag and add to the bottom of the matted photo.
Stamp and die cut 1 set of the smallest Cherry Blossom image, and 1 set of the medium Cherry Blossom image onto white cardstock using grey ink (Archival- Shadow Grey). Stamp and die cut 2 sets of the swirly Leafy Accent images onto white cardstock using dark brown ink (Stampin' Up- Early Espresso). Stamp and die cut 3 sets of the small Cherry Blossom leaves onto white cardstock using dark brown ink. Add color to the flowers using ink and daubers, just in the middle of each flower (Distress Oxide Ink- Worn Lipstick). Add color to the leaves using ink and daubers (ColorBox- Seaweed). Using the coordinating 3D Shaping Molds, shape the leaves and flowers. Add pink Prills to the middle of each flower. Let dry.
