Instructions:

  1. Fold the Watermelon Wonder Cardstock in half with a Bone Folder.
  2. Run a short strip of Snail behind the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Birthday Bouquet DSP at the position you will adhere the Watermelon Wonder Stitched Satin Ribbon.
  3. Turn DSP around and adhere the Watermelon Wonder Ribbon to the DSP.
  4. Wrap the Linen Thread around the DSP and ribbon and secure with a knot, tie a bow.
  5. Adhere the piece of Blushing Bride to the Watermelon Wonder piece of cardstock and set aside.
  6. Stamp Happy Anniversary in Watermelon Wonder Stampin’ Ink on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Cut out to look like it is icing dripping over the cake. Use a Sponge Dauber and Watermelon Wonder Stampin’ Ink and go over the edges to give the piece color and dimension.
  7. Use the “Kiss method” for the cake stand. Ink up the Dots for Days Stamp with Soft Suede and take the cake stand stamp and press it on the dots stamp. You will notice the dot pattern on the cake stand stamp. Stamp this on Whisper White Cardstock.
  8. Fussy cut the cake stand.

  12. Attach three sizes of Rhinestones to the piece of Blushing Bride in the top left corner.
