Instruction

  1. Cut a 5 ¼ x 4 piece from grid paper – important – cut a slice that contains grid lines.
  2. Use some temporary adhesive to adhere Grid Paper with the metric side up onto the 5 ¼ x 4 Whisper White card stock.
  3. Mark an approximate center mark on a grid. Now take your Mosaic Punch – push the punch all the way in and align with the center grid mark.

  4. Now counting from the first punch – over 6 grid marks and mark for the next punches.
  5. Punch each aligning the punch again pushed all the way in with the grid marks.
    This is what you should have.
  6. Now flip paper around and mark a center mark in between the Mosaic.
  7. Push punch all the way in and align with your center marks to punch – be sure to align the top of punch and bottom with the grid.
  8. Now repeat for the top and bottom row. This time the punch will not be pushed in all the way – so I mark a T to align the top of the punch.
  9. Now stamp “BE YOU {TIFUL}” on the 4 x ¾” Whisper White with Blackberry Bliss ink.
  10. Using the Hexagon punch snip the right end on paper.
  11. Adhere the “BE YOU {TIFUL}” to the 4 ¼ x 1” Blackberry Bliss.
  12. Snip the end with Hexagon Punch.
  13. With the Large Oval Framelits – center over the 5 ¼ x 4 Mossy Meadow and run through Sizzix.
  14. I use a little dab of TOMBOW to adhere trellis to the Mossy Meadow card stock.
  15. Use Dimensionals to adhere to the Lost Lagoon card front.

  16. Put three Dimensionals on the “BE YOU {TIFUL}” flag and adhere on to card.

  17. With Tangelo Twist ink stamp off the flower from the Flower Shop Stamp set and punch out with Pansy Punch.
  18. Punch a Tangelo Twist using the Petite Petal Punch.
  19. Punch a Hello Honey with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch - flower
  20. On piercing Mat rub the two small flower with Embossing tool to give some dimension. 
  21. Piece together flower using Glue Dots and add Pearl to center and adhere to card.
