 2021-23 In-Color Jewels

I am offering these beautiful cards at my February 8th and 12th, 2022 Creative Therapy classes.  All three cards use the beautiful Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper, and just look how different each card looks, just by changing the cardstock colors.  

Recipe:

• The bases are 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.
• The next layers of the Pale Papaya and Polished Pink cards are 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Expressions in Ink DSP layers are 5 x 3 5/8.
• The lace is cut out with the Potted Succulent Dies.
• The 3/8 wide Basic White frame over the DSP is made by layering and cutting the largest and the third from the largest Rectangle Stitched Dies together.  I used Foam Adhesive Strips on the back of the frame instead of dimensionals.  More economical and was much quicker to use.
• The words are embossed with Gold Metallic Powder on a piece of 4 x 3/4 piece of Basic White.
• The ribbon is added with glue dots. (See below for the list of all the different ribbons I used).
• All done!!  And remember to decorate your envelope.
