Instructions: Cut a piece of Purple cardstock 10 x 7 inches, score it on 5" and fold it in half, then your card is 5 x 7 inches Cut a piece of the glitter cardstock at 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches and glue this on the front of the card. Take a piece of the design paper collection 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches, the one with the Purple Coneflowers on the left and cut next to the flowers leaving the bottom part straight, now take the distresser and distress all the sides and ink them with Vintage Photo, now only put some tape on the outside and glue the whole part down on the front of the card so then you have a pocket.
For the inside of the card you cut 2 pieces of the design paper 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches, distress all the edges and ink them with the vintage photo. For the left side you cut a tag out of the paper and mat it on a purple cardstock and cut it out so that you have a nice frame behind the tag, cut a strip from the design paper and glue this on the left side put tape on the tag only on 2 sides so that you create a pocket, now cut another tag out of the paper, mat it on cardstock take a piece of the seam binding and staple it on the tag, put this one in the pocket. For the right side you cut with a knife a slit into the paper, make 2 little holes with the Crop-o-dile and then cut a from hole to hole so then you have a nice slit and it won't tear! Now make 1 tag and mat it on purple cardstock and staple a piece of the seam binding on it and put it in the pocket (slit) then cut with the tag die a tag out of the paper and pull a piece of seam binding through it and put that in the slit too. For the front pocket you cut a nice big label out of the paper collection and a small one and bind them together on the top with a piece of seam binding and put that in the front pocket.
Coneflowers: Stamp some Cone flowers on white cardstock with the Rich Cocoa, cut them out with the coordinating dies and color them with the Lulu lavender, Dusty Concord and at the tips some Vibrant Fuchsia. Put some glue on the pollens and dip them in the (train) sand, let then dry. Also for the greenery, I colored them with a mix of Bamboo leaves and Leaf Green and on the tips some yellow dots with the Yellow pearlpen. Now you can make a nice arrangement on the front of your card, put some flowers on foam tape for dimension.
