Center this piece over the inside piece, remove the tape backing on the left side and fold the left side of the inside mountain fold over the panel and adhere. Remove the backing tape from the right side, fold over to the front and adhere to the floral designer paper. 

Stamp the Friend Floral Sentiment Cling Stamp Set on Heavy white cardstock 2x Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Use just the outside die to cut the first one. Use the outside die and the inside die to cut the second one and color using Stampin Blend markers – Melon Mambo, Polished Pink and Granny Apple Green. Bend up the edges of the flowers of the stamped image to give a little dimension. Cut the frame 5x more from white cardstock and adhere together to create a dimensional piece. Adhere the stamped image on top using dries clear adhesive. Color in the lettering on the full diecut then sponge both the full diecut and the frame with dries clear adhesive and cover with Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear glitter.
