Assembly

(SNAIL or Stamp 'n Seal Adhesive used to assemble unless otherwise indicated.)

1. Score Thick White card stock at 4-1/4"; fold away from score line to create card base.

2. Center and Adhere color card stock to card front.

3. Cut detailed sunflower die cut equally spaced from top and sides of 5-3/16" x 3-15/16" white card stock.  Use embossing folder to add texture to card stock (NOT the sunflower cutout).

4. Adhere DSP to back of card stock so design shows through sunflower cutout.  Adhere card stock to front of card over color card stock.

5. Line up detailed sunflower with cutout shape and use liquid glue to adhere center portion of flower to DSP.  

6. Cut center of sunflower from Brushed Silver card stock (or use the same color of card stock as the color layer).  Adhere to center of sunflower with Stampin' Dimensionals or liquid glue.

7. Adhere 1/2" wide strip of white card stock to 3/4" wide Brushed Silver card stock (or use same color of card stock as color layer).  Gather and wrap metallic mesh from front to back and adhere with glue dots or other adhesive to back of 3/4" wide card stock.  Use Tear 'n Tape to attach this piece to front of card as shown.  Wrap Silver Metallic Thread around mesh and tie in a bow as shown.

Inside

On inside, layer 5-3/16" x 3-15/16" color card stock first, and then 5" x 3-3/4" white card stock.  For my sample I used a Crafters Companion die from my stash.

I hope you enjoy this card.  I absolutely love the sunflower die -- it's so detailed and delicate and beautiful!
