Instructions
On the long side score the evening evergreen card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.
Stamp a sentiment using evening evergreen ink on the basic white card and add the 1/2" strip of dsp to the bottom, then adhere on the inside of the card.
Add the gold foil layer and then the dsp layer to the card front.
Stamp a sentiment on the scrap of evening evergreen using Versamark and then sprinkle with gold embossing powder and set with the heat tool.
Die cut the embossed sentiment with the second largest circle die and die cut the largest one in the gold foil, layer the two up together and add with dimensionals to the card front.
Add a gilded gem and the card is complete, how quick and easy was that and I think it looks so stylish, what do you think?
