6)      Repeat step #4 & #5 along the other long side of the card
7)      Fold each section of the card as shown below



Pattern Paper for Card
Polka Dot Paper

2)      Cut out both the T-shape polka dot papers
3)      Using a dauber, ink all the edges of the polka dot paper using Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet

4 – 1.5” x 2”
2 – 1.5” x 4”
1 -2.5” x 4”

Creating Vellum Flowers
Flowers
1)      Stamp Arianna Blooms with Versa Mark on vellum five times and emboss them with the Clear Hologram Sparkle Glitter
2)      Cut out all of the flowers using Arianna Die Cut

Each flower is made up of both petals and buds. Listed below is what size of flower to use to create the 3-D effect, as well if they are shaped as petals or buds (instructions below for each).

Large Flower (on green)
     -2 of the second largest flower ~shape both as petals
     -1 second smallest flower ~shape as a bud
     -1 smallest flower ~shape as a bud

Large Flower (on front)
     -2 of the second smallest flower ~shape both as petals
     -2 of the smallest flower ~shape both as buds

Small Flower (on left front)
     -2 of the smallest flower ~shape both as petals
     -1 smallest flower ~shape as a bud

Small Flower (on right front)
     -2 of the smallest flower ~shape both as petals
     -2 of the smallest flower ~shape both as buds

Shaping the Petals:
a)      Turn the petal upside down on a foam mat (stamp facing down)
b)      Using a stylus gently press down from the base of the flower pulling out towards the tip of the petal (this breaks down the fiber of the vellum, making it more pliable)
c)      Once you have done all the petals you will start folding each petal in half
d)     Turn flower over (stamp side up) and then bend the corners up like ears, creating a ripple effect
e)      Using stylus, circle the center of the flower causing the petals to come up in the shape of a flower


Shaping the Buds:
a)      Stamp face up on a foam mat
b)      Using a stylus gently press down from the base of the flower pulling outwards to the tip of the petal
c)      Circle the center of the flower until the petals come up towards the center of the flower
d)     Continue until the petals are up into a flower bud

**For each flower use the liquid glue to adhere the petals together with the buds in the middle on top
–to glitter the center of the flowers use a Q-tip in Versa Mark and emboss with the clear hologram sparkle glitter


Paper Embellishments for Card
Yellow Paper (3 different pieces)
1)      Cut out a 3.5” circle and distress edges
2)      Cut out a 5/8” x 3.75” rectangle and distress edges
3)      Cut out a 2  3/16” x 1   3/16” rectangle, slightly invert corners (so it looks like a ticket) and distress edges
4)      Using the ‘Spellbinders Labels Eighteen’ second smallest tag, cut out and distress the edges

Vellum (flowers and decorative pieces)
Decorative Pieces
1)      Cut out the lattice piece and cut 1.5” off the opposite sides
