Instructions
On the long side, score the thick white card 2 1/2" and 5" and fold and burnish as though you are making a Z Fold card.
Die cut the second largest stitched rectangle from the basic white card and select an image in the dsp that you want to put on the easel and die cut that with the next size down. I've used the reverse side of the tulip flowers used for the main sections.
Adhere all the highland heather layers to the card base and then add the dsp layers.
Stamp a sentiment on the smaller piece of basic white and die cut with the smallest of the rectangle dies.
Die cut several sets of tulips in rich razzleberry and highland heather as well as some leaves and stems in soft succulent. Make up the flowers using mini glue dots to hold the pieces in place.
Stamp a sentiment in the top right hand corner of the dsp layer for the easel and then arrange the stems, leaves and flowers underneath it. Adhere this layer to the large rectangle. Then add glue to the back of the top half of this piece and adhere to the easel so that it is central and doesn't overhang the bottom of the card (see picture).
Add dimensionals to the back of the small rectangle and add this to the base of the card to act as a stopper (see picture), add another flower next to this.
Sprinkle some rhinestones and the card is complete.
