Instructions: Cut cream cardstock 5 1/2 x 8”, score and fold a 4”. Diecut floral urn on folded card base, being sure the top of the die hangs off the card base, so the fold stays intact. Stamp Floral urn onto tan designer paper using Pebble Beach ink, diecut with coordinating die, then diecut an additional urn from cream cardstock. Color the stamped image lightly, then glue onto cream urn diecut, only applying glue onto the sides and bottom of urn, creating a pocket to insert the floral accents.

Stamp the 3 small dahlias onto Deluxe Flower Shaping paper using Light House ink and diecut. Color with Sunflower and Light House ink, shaping using shaping mold, then assemble. Pierce the center of each petal, then insert a rose hip stamen in the center and secure using hot glue. Wrap petals tightly around it, creating a bud using hot glue to secure. Create a second bud for the second flower, this time adding a second layer around it the create a larger flower. Ink the stamen wire using Olive ink.

Stamp the following accents onto white cardstock. From the Large Floral Urn stamp set stamp the elongated leaf x2 using Olive ink, and the small flowers x2 using Light House ink. From the Floral Shoppe Accents stamp set, stamp the rounded leaf x2 using Olive ink, the berry sprig x2 using Light House ink and the large bud x2 using Jet Black ink.

Color the small zinnia buds with Seafarer and Olive ink, the large with Olive and Light House, the floral spray with Olive (very lightly), and the wildflower spray using Seafarer and Olive ink. Shape these pieces using the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit and snip apart as needed.

Use 3 gold stamens from the Rose Hip Stamen collection and ink the wires with Olive ink and the gold with a layer of Light House ink to appear like rose gold in color. Allow to dry. Once dry, wrap wire around a piercing tool or golf tool to create a spiral effect. Insert a small piece of cheesecloth into urn pocket, then add and arrange pieces as shown with a dab of hot glue. Once happy with arrangement, go through and securely adhere pieces with hot glue to add dimension.

Adhere sentiment on card using foam adhesive, adding a few leaves left over from bouquet. Add sparkle to the card using Dries Clear and Crystal glitter. Finally, if desired, add Crystal Lacquer onto the berry sprigs for a bit of a glossy effect.
