Instructions: 

Cut a piece of white cardstock 10″ x 7″, score at 5″ along the long side and fold to create a base card of 5″ x 7″. Cut a piece of patterned paper including the Dream again sentiment 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and adhere to the base card. Cut a piece of peony patterned paper 5″ x 7″ and die cut the diamond out of the centre of the card using the second largest diamond die. Cut a diamond frame using the largest and second largest diamond die from teal paper. Add Crystal Clear glitter to the frame with Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge and then adhere to the diamond opening. Add this to the card base.

Stamp the images from the HCPC-3819 Small Sweet Peony Stamp set on vellum using White Daisy ink and emboss with white embossing powder. Colour on the back with Picked Raspberry, Broken China and Wild Honey inks and die cut with the coordinating dies. Trim the flowers and shape using a groove tool. Assemble using two larger and one smaller flower for the three small petals for the smaller flower, pierce the centre of the flowers and thread through the white fluffy stamens. Glue in place with Dries Clear glue and when dry trim the stamens and then adhere around the bottom right of the card around the diamond.

Stamp the leaf images from the Leafy Accents using White Daisy ink on vellum and emboss with white embossing powder. Colour on the back with Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover inks and die cut with the coordinating die. Shape with the groove golf tool and adhere around the peonies.

Stamp the leaf images from the HCPC-3819 Small Sweet Peony Stamp set in Library Green ink on flower shaping cardstock. Colour in with Leaf Green and Olive inks and die cut with the coordinating dies. Shape and add Crystal Clear using Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge and then adhere around the flowers over the leaves.

Stamp three butterfly images from the HCPC-3835 Leafy Accents Stamp set in White Daisy ink on vellum. Colour with Broken China, Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey and Black Soot inks and die cut with the coordinating die. Trim the last third of the wing off the end and the body off one of the butterflies, trim the wings and shape and adhere to a base butterfly. Trim two thirds off the wing and the body of the third butterfly, trim and shape the wings and adhere over the base butterfly. Add Crystal Clear glitter to the butterfly with Dries Clear glue on a fairly dry sponge and then adhere the butterfly to the to right of the diamond as shown.

Stamp the sentiment image from the HCPC-3845 Just for You Sentiments Stamp set in White Daisy in on vellum. Die cut the sentiment out using the second smallest banner die from the HCD1-7204 Arrows and Banner Dies and shape and adhere to the bottom right as shown.
