Step 1: Begin by creating an A2 card base out of Stark White cardstock by trimming the 8½” x 11” cardstock at 5½”, then score at 4¼”. For the front panel piece, trim another piece of cardstock measuring about 4¼ x 5¼.”

Step 4: On a separate piece of Stark White cardstock stamp the larger floral image from the Watercolor Flowers stamp set using the Emboss It ink pad clear. Once done stamping, use your finger to grab and sprinkle some distress embossing glaze. For the flowers, use Kitsch Flamingo and Fossilized Amber. For the leaves, use Peeled Paint. Then heat emboss with a heat gun.

Step 5: Once the heat embossing is done, ink blend the florals with Sike! ink. Then use the dies from the Watercolor Flowers to die cut the image.

Step 7: On a separate piece of Stark White cardstock stamp and heat emboss one of the sentiments from the Watercolor Flowers stamp set. Then ink the cardstock with Viper Ink and die cut the sentiment 3 times to add dimension.
