Very cool!&nbsp; Then adhered it to the white card base using SNAIL adhesive.</li> <li>Then stamp the flourish swirl using the Flowering Flourishes stamp set.&nbsp; Yes, some areas I filled in with Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker!</li> <li>Next, cut the piece of Basic Black card stock and used the Scallop Edge, and adhered it using SNAIL adhesive.</li> <li>Next, added the ribbon adhering using the SNAIL and Mini Glue Dots.</li> <li>Next, used the Floral Frame Framelists (3rd size) to die cut the Pacific Point flower (paper from the Brights Designers Series Pack).</li> <li>Next, stamped the Lacely &amp; Lovely image in Basic Black Ink.&nbsp; Then used the 2nd Floral Frame (from Floral Frames Framelits) to cut it to a flower shape. Then colored one of the edges with the Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker.&nbsp; Next, added Rhinestones near the center, outside where you see the Button.</li> <li>Adhere the stamped image to the Pacific Point paper using SNAIL, then adhere the flower to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.</li> <li>Last but not least I added the Pink buttons (adhering using Mini Glue Dots) and added the Rhinestones to the centers.</li> </ol> <h2> Here are the Stampin' Up!
