I made this card into a matchbook. I took an 4 1/4"x11" piece of cardstock & scored it at 5" and then at 1". Then trimmed about an 1/2" off the bottom of the front part that gets tucked in. Ran it through the Cuttlebug using Victoria folder - love it! Punch a hole 1/4" from bottom in the center, add a brad. Now for the background...I took a glossy piece of white & die cut it with Labels 1 (my fave). Then I stamped the tiny flower background in VersaMark & embossed in clear powder. Brayer over entire surface with 2 colors, LuLu Lavender & Angel Pink Memento (half on top & the other half on bottom). Buff image with paper towel to remove excess ink. Put some ribbon on & mount that piece to black piece. Then stamp the branch on a seperate piece of white in New Sprout, stamp flowers in Tuxedo Black & color it with (of course) Copic markers. Cut out image leaving a equal thin white border all the way around. This will give it an unified look. Adhere to card & glitter the flowers. And there you have it... a matchbook card! It's easier than it sounds, Rick.
