Instructions
(SNAIL Adhesive used throughout unless otherwise indicated)

1. Score 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Sweet Sugarplum card stock at 4-1/4"; fold away from score line to create card base.

2. Adhere 5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White card stock to front of card.

3. Use Whisper White ink to stamp "celebrate" (Happy Celebrations) near top right of Sahara Sand card stock; clean stamp and repeat with Sweet Sugarplum ink over first image, shifting it about 1/16" to the left and up so a tiny amount of white shows at the right and bottom edges of the image.

4. Adhere DSP at bottom of Sahara Sand card stock.  (The reason we're adding it before stamping the flowers is to provide a guide so you don't cover up the flowers with the DSP.)

5. Use Whisper White to stamp the three small star-shaped flowers to the left of "celebrate"; use Sweet Sugarplum to stamp round-ish small flower over the Whisper White flower; use Tip Top Taupe to stamp the small sprinkle randomly around the flowers and the word.  (These stamps are all in the Bunch of Blossoms set.)

6. Use Stampin' Sponge to apply Tip Top Taupe ink around the edge of the Sahara Sand/DSP piece.

7. Adhere ribbon across top edge of DSP; fold edges to the back and secure with adhesive.

8. Use a glue dot to attach Linen Thread to back of card stock over the ribbon at one side; wrap around card stock twice and secure to the back with adhesive.

9. Adhere Sahara Sand card stock/DSP piece over Whisper White card stock on front of card.

10.  Apply self-adhesive tiny pearls in centers of flowers; make a small three-loop bow from Linen Thread and attach with a glue dot over the ribbon/thread as shown.

Don't forget the inside!!!!

11. On second piece of Whisper White 5-1/4" x 4" card stock, use Rich Razzleberry ink to stamp sentiment (Bunch of Blossoms); stamp flowers and sprinkles the same as in Step 5 above.  NOTE:  It's kind of difficult to see the small Whisper White flowers after you've stamped them on white card stock, but if you look at them from an angle where the light shines on them, it will be easier to find them.)  Adhere card stock to inside of card.

Hope you enjoy this card.  It was so fun to make!
