Instructions

On the long side score the pool party card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Add the vellum to the card front by adding spots of glue on the back of the solid images, don't add anywhere on the see through sections, it will show.

Die cut a silver foil and a basic white frame and use the silver frame with the white oval and save the other combination for another card.

Stamp a sentiment on the oval using the Versamark and also on the white mat layer for the inside, add some flowers to both. Sprinkle with silver embossing powder and melt with the heat tool.

Add the oval and the frame together by flipping over and adding dimensionals across the join between the two at intervals all around the edge, add a couple in the centre too.

Add this to the card front and add some rhinestones (see picture).

Adhere the remaining piece of white to the inside and the card is complete.
