Finished card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" folded

• Step 1 - Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score in half for a vertical side fold card (A2)
• Step 2 - Trim Sunflower Soft Finish Cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4", adhere to front card base using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.
• Step 3 - Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5". Create a Distress Oxide background by applying directly on White Soft Finish Cardstock using an Ink Applicator. I used colors Faded Jeans, Broken China and Cracked Pistachio. Starting darkest at the top to the lightest going down leaving the bottom white. I sprayed some water to create droplets. Once dry adhere to card using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.
• Step 4 - Stamp Dream sentiment (Happiness) using Versamark Ink, sprinkle White Embossing Powder, heat set it with a heat tool.
• Step 5 - Diecut Garden Notes - Sunflowers 2 (yellow for the flower petals and green for the leaves and stem). You can use White Soft finish Cardstock and color using medium of your choice. Assemble the Sunflower using Susan's Garden 4pc All Metal Tool Set and Kids Choice Glue. For the center I used Prills instead of the diecut pieces. Adhere to the card using Kids Choice Glue. If you need help for the assembly of the flower visit Susan on YouTube, she has a video using the Garden Notes - Sunflower 1.
