DIRECTIONS:
  1. Trim a piece of light pink cardstock measuring 4 1/4"x 5 1/2". Center the coordinating die on this piece and run through a die cutting machine. You will use the frame portion of the die for this card, but save the inside diecut and use for another project.
  2. Score a 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" piece of watercolor paper in half to create a card base, but do not fold yet. Place the pink diecut frame over the front of the card and tape in place.
  3. Place the floral stamp on an acrylic block and ink up the stamp using Intens-ified Black ink. Carefully line up the stamp over the diecut window and firmly press down to stamp image.
  4. Fold the card base and secure to a hard board with painter's tape. This will help the paper to not warp when painted with watercolors.
  5. Use the watercolor dot palette to loosely paint the image using a water brush. Allow to completely dry and then remove from board.
  6. Stamp the "hello" message on a strip of white cardstock using black ink. Trim a banner tail on the left side.
  7. Apply foam adhesive to the backside of the pink diecut frame and then adhere over watercolored floral image. This will create a dimensional frame around the flowers.
  8. Adhere sentiment strip using foam adhesive and liquid adhesive.
  9. Embellish with pink Enamel Dots.
