The first thing that we will do is prepare our paper. We need an A2 base in white cardstock. So, to make the base cut an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock in the middle at the 5-1/2″ mark on the long side. Then take one of those pieces and place on a paper scoring board and score in the middle on the long edge at 4-1/4″. Now, you have a base!

For the other cuts you’ll need:

• Cardstock – White, cut to 5-1/4′ x 4″ and a scrap piece for the smallest-size banner die.
• Cardstock – Green, a scrap for the middle-size banner die.

On the card base Stamp the Mini Curly Willow Leaf in Shadow Grey ink along the edge of the paper, covering at least 1/4″ wide.  Set aside.

On the white cardstock panel stamp the Mini Shaggy Zinnia in Dusty Concord ink, clean and stamp again in Spiced Marmalade.  Stamp the Tiny Varying Petals Flower in Fossilized Amber ink, nestling them up close to the Shaggy Zinnia.

Draw some curvy stems onto the Shaggy Zinnias then stamp the Tiny sage Leaf in Fern Green ink along the stem, nestling it near the flowers. Stamp the Mini Curly Willow Leaf in Fern Green ink along the stems.

Rub the edge of the Fern Green ink along the edges of the card panel. Attach Foam tape to the back. Remove backing and adhere to the card base.

Die cut the two banner pieces and glue together. Mount the sentiment and ink in Black Soot ink. Stamp in the center of the white banner. Attach foam tape to the back, remove backing and adhere to the card front about 1/4″ from the bottom of the card panel. Add three Nuvo Drops to the center of all the Zinnias.

For the envelope, flip it over and recreate the flower stamping that you made on the cardstock panel, minus the sentiment and Nuvo Drops.
