double stick tape or glue
pop dots; 1/16, 1/8, 1/4

Rose Panel: 6 3/4 x 8
Decorative Panel: 6 1/2 x 7 3/4
Instructions:
1. All but three of the flowers are on support stock (on
this sample card, the two bottom most purple flowers and the top most majestic
flower are on flat). The poinsettia and holly leaves are also on support
stock. ***You can place the images onto the support stock and trim both
layers at once. You could also trim the layers separately.
2. Layer the cardstock and paper onto the main card.
3. Tentatively lay out your design. When you are pleased, start
attaching. Start with the images you wish to have flat, then start
building around them. Be sure to use all the sizes of pop dots for the
most visual dimension. Remember that pop dots will not stick to velvet,
so in this case, it is easier to put the pop dots onto the main card and then
position the flowers on them. You can always go in and add more dots for
support as needed.
4. Complete the inside of the card.
5. Not a lot of instructions for this extremely elegant card. Hope
your holiday is a jewel!!
