The card front is four layers: 1) the card base with the
sentiment stamped & embossed on the top front,
Note: both sentiments are from the
Colorful Seasons stamp set in the Annual Catalog;
2) a silver foil panel that is adhered to the
bottom of the card base; 3) a silver foil ribbon
that is attached to the back of the floral panel;
and 4) the embossed floral panel which is
adhered with stampin' dimensionals on top
of the silver foil on the bottom of the card.
The floral panel is embossed with the
Petal Pair Embossing Folder
from the Petal Passion Suite in the Occasions Catalog
on Whisper White Thick cardstock,
using Memento Black ink to highlight the pattern.
See photo below for what it looks like
before it is colored and partially colored.
The bottom part of the embossed floral panel
is cut away either before or after you color
in the flowers and leaves.
This is the inside of the card. The flower is colored
and cut out of an extra embossed panel.
The envelope flap (shown below & hard to see)
is embossed (no ink) using the same
Petal Pair Embossing Folder. It is an elegant look.

One of the embellishments that you can't see on
the card are Glitter Epoxy Shapes; dots and dew drops
on the front of the card by the sentiment and on
some of the flowers. They add an extra pop on the card.

You can use other colors when you color your flowers; some class participants used Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay and did a darker, richer tone on the flowers. They also discovered that when you flip the panel over there is a paler version of the panel. Some of them used a couple of their reverse sides on their card. They were beautiful. Some used different flowers and colors for the inside flower. Be creative and have fun making this card.
