Instructions
  1. Cut one 4¼" x 11" rectangle (large) and one 3⅛" x 4⅜" rectangle (small) from White cardstock and one 4¼" x 5½" rectangle from Lily Pond cardstock. Turn large White rectangle horizontally, score a vertical line down the center, and fold in half.
  2. Use Bamboo Leaves ink pad to stamp Scroll Pattern onto Lily Pond rectangle 1½" up from the bottom and to antique around outside edges. Use Black Pen to create a dotted border ⅛" in all the way around the remaining sides of the Lily Pond rectangle as shown. With fold at the top, center and adhere Lily Pond rectangle onto card front. Use Corner Rounder to round both corners on bottom of card. Cut one 8½" length from brown with white polka dot ribbon and wrap around card front above Scroll Pattern stamped image as shown.
  3. Use Markers to color Hillflowers stamp as shown or as desired. Once all colors are added, spray stamp with water to reactivate the ink in the markers, then stamp image centered onto small White rectangle. Use Burnt Sienna marker to color Sentiment stamp (“loving wise thoughtful generous” used here), then stamp centered below floral stamped image as shown. Use Black Onyx ink pad to stamp Uppercase Brushstroke alphabet letters (“Mother” used here) centered onto top of small White rectangle.
  4. Use cotton swabs to randomly apply yellow chalk around the stamped flower image and Perfect Gold Perfect Pearls over the flowers. Dab the button surface with Watermark ink pad, then apply Gold Embossing Powder and heat set. Once dry, use Stone Gray ink pad to antique button.
  5. Mat small White rectangle onto Cupcake cardstock with ⅛" border, then onto Mocha Divine cardstock with ⅛" border. With fold at top, center and adhere onto card front. Cut one 2½" length from ribbon and fold in half, trimming ends evenly. Adhere onto bottom right side of matted stamped image, then adhere button onto fold as shown.
