   Designer Series Paper (DSP): 

Brushed with Beauty pattern – 5 ¼” x 4” 

Floral pattern – 5” x 3 ¾” 

Assembly:

Take the patterned DSP and run it through the cut and embossing machine using the dry embossing folder.  Die cut out the floral DSP with large die of your choice.  In Mossy Meadow, die cut the background “because”.  

Take a piece of the adhesive sheet and apply to a piece Very Vanilla cardstock.  Using “because” die cut, run through the machine. Peel adhesive from the “because” word and attach to the “because” background die cut.  

Using Very Vanilla, cut out sentiment strip with die.  Stamp sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink.  

Fold and burnish with bone folder the Mossy Meadow cardstock base. Adhere the dry embossed DSP to the base using Multipurpose Glue or Stampin’ Adhesive. Adhere the floral die cut DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  

Place dimensionals on the back of the “because” sentiment and adhere to the front of the card. Adhere the other sentiment.  I tucked it under the "because" using glue and used one dimensional on the right side for evenness.  

Add pearl embellishments (remember to use odd numbers).  

For the inside, stamp the Basic Beige cardstock piece with a sentiment or flower and adhere to the inside of the card.
