Instructions:
Cut a piece of white card stock to 11 x 7 1/2” and score in half at 5 1/2” to form a 5 1/2 x 7 1/2” card base. Cut a piece from sheet 8B from the HCDP1-2127 Floral Butterfly Paper Collection measuring 5 1/2 x 7 1/2” and glue this to the card base. Now from sheet 11B cut a piece measuring 5 1/4 x 7 1/4” and adhere it to the card front. Next use the largest die from the HCD2-7424 Rectangle Filigree Frame Die Set to cut a piece of Luxe Silver Card Stock, white card stock, and a piece from sheet 1B from the Floral Butterfly Collection. Using Dries Clear adhesive and glue the white frame on top of the silver layer slightly offsetting them so that the silver peeks out from behind the white. Adhere to the base. Then using just the center piece from the piece cut from sheet 1B glue that inner piece in the center of the frame. Next use the second largest die from the same die set to cut out a Luxe Silver piece and the third largest die to cut out a piece from sheet 5A. Layer these two pieces together and adhere them to the card front using 3D foam tape.
Using HCPC-31008 Wicker Basket Cling Stamp Set, stamp out 1 basket with Versa Color pigment ink onto white card stock. Heat emboss using white embossing powder. Also Stamp out the bow onto a piece of pink scrap paper from the paper pack using Magenta Hue ink. Die cut with the coordinating die then lightly ink the edges with HCDA1-449 Stack and Store Daubers to give the bow some added dimension. Now stamp out the full size Iris, the Iris buds, and the Spray 4x each from HCPC-31022 Iris Garden Accents Cling Stamp Set using Deep Purple, Periwinkle (for the sprays), and Olive Archival inks. Die cut with coordinating dies and ink the edges using the same colors to darken the edges. Add a small amount of Goldenrod Archival ink to the centers of the Irises. For the Sprays add Dries Clear Glue and sprinkle on Ice Queen Prills, set aside to dry. Using HCPC-31010 Basket Blooms cling stamp set, stamp out the lily stem 3x using Golden Rod and Olive Inks. Color lightly with Chrome Yellow and Leaf Green inks before die cutting with the coordinating dies.

Now simply arrange the stems gluing small bits in at a time for a well balanced look. Before adding the bow, take a piece of 1/8” white ribbon and ink using the Magenta Hue ink pad and a Stack and Store dauber.
