I stamped the flower image 5 times onto white cardstock using the following ink colors: Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Mango Medley and Granny Apple Green. I then fussy cut each flower trying to cut as close to the edge as possible so not a lot of white shows. Next I positioned the flowers where I wanted them on the card and then placed Press-n-Seal on top of the flowers, gently pressing the Press-n-Seal against the fussy cut flowers. This is called the Press-n-Seal technique which I had never done before. Press-n-Seal is a unique "like saran wrap but much better" product that makes this card much easier to make. After arranging all the flowers on the card, I used Press-n-Seal to pick them all up at once. This made it easy to stamp the leaves where I wanted them (with the help of my Stamparatus) and to apply adhesive to the back of everything and place it back into the original spot. Such a time saver! The leaves were stamped in the same color as the flowers but they were each stamped off once. Using Tombow liquid glue, I adhered a 1/2" strip of gold foil paper to the right side. Lay the Press'n'Seal flowers back on top of the stamped (leaves) cardstock panel. Carefully pull back the Press'n'Seal off the flowers and put glue on all the flowers (except Grape). Allow a few seconds for the glue to set up and then gently remove the Press'n'Seal. Put a couple of Glue Dots for the gold thread in a spot under the Grape flower so it does not show. Adhere the Grape flower with dimensionalds and add your text and a little bling.
