Measurements: 

·         Card Base: Blueberry Bushel card  base 8 ½”  x  4 ¼”; score and fold at 5 ½”

·         Cardstock #2:  Crumb cake 4-1/8” x 5-3/8”

·         Cardstock #3: Garden Green 4” x 5 ¼”

·         Cardstock #4: Crumb Cake  3” ( I did just a hair over 3”)  x 4 7/8”

·         Cardstock #5  2 thin strips of Cajun Craze down the sides of the Crumb Cake layer #4 applied after sponging is done; trim ends to fit

           

           

Instructions:

·         Prepare Crumb Cake cardstock layer #4 for heat embossing by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over piece of cardstock.  Emboss floral image and sentiment using the white embossing powder and Heat tool.

·         Sponge ink as desired over the floral image using the 3 inks listed above leaving a small area of Crumb Cake in the corner visible. I cut sponge into 4 small pieces to make the sponging easier.

·         Rub off any excess ink from the white embossed areas with an old towel or paper towel.

·         Dry emboss the Garden Green Cardstock #3 piece using the Tufted 3 D embossing folder.

·         Apply this piece of Garden Green to the Crumb Cake Cardstock #2 layer then apply to Blueberry Bushel card base.

·         Apply the 2 thin strips of Cajun Craze cardstock down the sides of the sponged layer of cardstock. 

·         Wrap the Linen thread around several times and secure on the back of cardstock.  Take 2 pieces of Linen Thread and tie a double bow around the wrapped pieces of Linen Thread and slide it into place. 

·         Using Stampin Dimensionals pop up the sponged piece onto the Garden Green embossed piece of cardstock.
