Steps (for all three cards as they are similar):

1. Stamp three shadows with Three Dotted Squares stamp.
    
2. Stamp flower of choice onto shadows using appropriate dye ink color.
    
3. Punch hole for brads and insert.
    
4. Mount to a panel that is larger in length and the same width. Set aside.
    
5. Stamp tip of flower of choice around edges of smallest panel using white ink.
    
6. Layer panels and glue in place.
    
7. Wrap threads around panels and tie. Set aside.
    
8. Stamp same or different flower (same recommended) with color matching colors on white card that opens for message inside.
    
9. When stamping over gray background, hold inked flower stamp down until counting until counting to at least 10 slowly to ensure that ink properly saturates into card covering the gray beneath. Some faint gray will remain creating a pleasing effect.

Note: Lady bugs can be added to each card. Blue card has subtle lady bugs.

Note: Orange card has same three dotted squares stamp with same flower over it around the edges on white card.

Note: Stamp called Watermark located at top left of Spring Flower set was used by Paula on Blue and Purple cards.
