Basic Instructions:

1.  Cut and fold card base, burnish fold using bone folder.

3.  Adhere the DSP to the Copper foil die cut, then adhere to the card front.

4.  Punch the tag from the copper foil scrap to desired length.  Cut white piece to desired length for inside the tag.  Stamp sentiment onto the white scrap piece using Versamark ink, then heat emboss with silver embossing powder using the heat tool.  Adhere white piece to the copper tag with Tombow liquid glue; set aside.

5.  For inside of card, stamp flourish stamp from the Elegantly Said stamp set as desired and also a sentiment using Versamark ink.  Apply silver embossing powder to the stamped image (s) and heat emboss using the heat tool.  Adhere panel to the inside of the card.

6.  Apply Versamark to the back of some of the leaf images in the Elegantly Said Ephemera pack by dabbing the white side of the image into the Versamark pad.  Apply silver embossing powder and emboss using the heat tool. 

7.  Apply Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the tag created for the front of the card.  Dry fit the tag and the silver embossed leaves as desired for the card front.  Adhere the tag with the Stampin' Dimensionals and the leaves with Tombow glue.

8.  Tie a small bow using the silver cording included with the Simply Elegant bundle.  Adhere to the left side of the tag using a glue dot, making sure it doesn’t overlap the sentiment.

9.  Stamp the flourish image onto the lower left corner of the front of the envelope, apply silver embossing powder and heat emboss using the heat tool.  Cut a piece of matching DSP to 5 3/4" x 2 1/2" and apply to the envelope flap using Tombow liquid glue.  Trim away excess DSP from the envelope flap.
