2. Align Sizzix tag border and tag die cut in the center of the front white cardstock and pass through the die cut machine.

3. Emboss the front white cardstock using Darice embossing pad. Also die cut brown cardstock using tag border die cut

4. Cut 8 pieces of foam pads into around 1" X 3/4" size. Here, I am using Scotch double sided foam tape, 5 petal handmade rose flowers, clear stamps which I had in my stash for long time, Memento ink and handmade ribbon bow.

I added some glittery accent to my rose flowers using "g Studio" clear glitter

8. Glue remaining 4 foam pads on front white cardstock as shown in image.

9. Align and glue white front cardstock properly in the center of brown cardstock leaving equal margin along all sides. Attach 2 to 3 layers of Soctch foam tape pieces to brown die cut to give raised elevation. Attach 2 pieces of Scotch double sided foam tape to white tag die cut. Place brown and white die cut pieces in the center of the card.

Also., I stamped a sentiment on white cardstock die cut before placing in the center of the card. Arrange flowers and ribbon bow as shown in picture.

I hope you got the instructions and if you have any question then feel free to ask me.

Love
