Assembly & Trix:

*  Stamp the sentiment and die cut using the Tasteful Label from the scrap piece of Basic White cardstock.

*  Using the Stamparatus™ stamp the Delicate Dahlia three times using the above colours, and add more ink with the sponge daubers.  ***Trix, move the CS around on the Stamparatus™ to align the flowers in a grouping of three while keeping the dahlia in place, end with the Fresh Freesia flower on the bottom and keep the card in place.

*  Lay the label on top of the dahlias, and stamp again using Fresh Freesia.  ***Trix, now the label is perfectly aligned with the dahlia and when raised on Stampin' Dimensionals will add depth to the card.  

*  Emboss the stamped layer with the Tasteful Texture embossing folder.

*  Adhere the twine to the back of the label using Stampin' Seal then adhere to the stamped layer using dimensionals.

*  Adhere the two strips of Be Dazzling paper to the stamped layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (glue)  ***Trix, I used glue and set it aside to dry for a minute, the glimmer accent on this paper requires a strong adhesive.  Stampin' Seal Plus and Tear & Tape Adhesive will also probably work but I didn't have them with me at the time.

*  Adhere the Kraft paper layer to the stamped layer with glue and then adhere the entire layer to the card base with glue.  

I hope this card has inspired you to shop and earn free Sale a-bration products to add to your collection!

Enjoy and have a super day!
