What You'll Need:
- "Bloom where you are planted" rubber stamp
- Black stamp pad
- Papers: 4-1/2x6-inch rectangle of light pink; 4-3/4x6-1/4-inch rectangle of dark pink; 3-3/8-inch square of dark pink
- White card stock: 6-1/2x10-inch rectangle; 3-1/8-inch square
- Glue stick
- Sheer ribbon: 5/8-inch-wide pink and 1/4-inch-wide green
- Embroidery needle
- White cotton embroidery floss
- 5/8-inch-diameter yellow button
- Miniature glue dots
Instructions:
Use black ink to stamp the image along the bottom edge of the light pink rectangle.
Fold the 6-1/2x10-inch white card-stock rectangle in half to measure 5x6-1/2 inches. Center and glue the dark pink rectangle on the front of the folded card. Center and glue the stamped rectangle on the dark pink rectangle. Center and glue the white card-stock square on the dark pink square. Glue the layered squares, centred, on the card front 3/4 inch below the top edge.
Use the pink ribbon to create a 3-inch-diameter five-petal flower. Thread the needle with white embroidery floss; sew the button to the center of the flower. For the stem, cut a 3-inch length of green ribbon. Use miniature glue dots to attach the flower and stem to the card.
