Make 2 strips from the envelope pieces 1 5/8" X 4 7/8"

Flowers and leaves to decorate card

Instructions: * FOLLOW STEP #5 WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS, (I made a mistake on the video by adhering the  1" strip down first) 

1.  Score both your note cards.

2.  Take one of them and cut off a 1" strip to equal 1" X 7"

3.  Fold your card in half and crease with bone folder,  fold the front 1 5/8" of your card backwards to the crease. You now have a "Z" shape.

4.  Adhere one of the 1 5/8" strips to the center panel down (inside on left) .

*5. Fussy cut large flower to fit inside card front, sponge with early espresso and adhere. Sponge the whole section after you have the flower on.

6. Now Stamp on the 1" strip on the last 1 3/4" section (if desired). Adhere your one inch strip to the bottom (the 3 1/2" section glue onto the 1st front panel then the last   1 3/4" over on the right on top of flower. Burnish with bone folder to make nice crisp creases. (watch video).

7. Adhere your last 1 5/8" panel onto your card front.

8. Decorate with flowers and stamped sentiment as desired.

Apply brads and circles to envelope, write message on back of card (you can add a white piece of card stock to back of the darker fresh fig card to write on).Insert card into envelope. Wrap the twine under and around both circles to close
