Cut DSP 5-1/4” x 4”.  Sponge edges with Soft Suede ink.  Punch flowers at the bottom with the Trio flower punch before adhering panel to card front.

Spritz the flowers then press centers with the Flower Shaper tool.  Set aside to dry.

Stamp phrase on Vanilla cardstock.  Die cut using the Layering ovals die.  Sponge the flowers with Soft Suede ink.  Arrange flowers and leaves around the phrase.  Add tiny pearls to the flower centers.

Punch the large flower from the Blossom Bunch punch in Pool Party cardstock.  Glue to center of the negative flower.  Add a Very Vintage button – I like to use enough glue that it squeezes up through the button holes.

Cut Everyday Enchantment Calypso Coral ribbon 8” long.  Make a bow then adhere to the button with mini glue dots. Trim.

Add a phrase from the High Tide stamp set.in Pool Party ink and the flower image from Punch Potpourri stamp set with Calypso Coral ink.  Stamp an envelope with the same flower image from Punch Potpourri stamp set with Calypso Coral ink.

I’m still working on the Everyday Enchantment DSP that I have loved and now chopped.  I chopped it in 5-1/4” strips then cut the strips into 4” pieces.  Kept the leftover strips too.  I have stored them in a Full Wide Stamp case. Kylie Bertucci has given us permission to Love It Chop It.
