Preparation:

1. Cut card from light coral cardstock 10”x5-1/4”” and fold in half
    
2. Cut dark coral cardstock 4-1/4”x4-1/4”, 3-3/4”x3-3/4” and two pieces 1-12”x1-3/4”.
    
3. Cut white cardstock 3-1/2”x3-3/4”, 3-1/2”x3-1/2”, 12”x1-13/8” and 12”x 1-1/8”.
    
4. Paint the wider of the long strips in Hydrangea Pink using the 1” wash brush.
    
5. Paint the box in Peony Pink using the 1” wash brush. 

Stamping:

1. Pick up small amount of Hydrangea Pink on the Paint and Toss Wedge, pat excess color off sponge onto palette. Pat the Hydrangea Pink onto image of the Roses from the Garden Set, using gentle straight up and down motion press stamp onto the white cardstock square. Repeat this process until all of the pieces of white cardstock are covered with roses.
   Tip: Do not apply color to heavily or it will fill in fine cuts of stamp. Press stamp firmly on surface lifting straight off. Rocking or sliding stamp will cause blurred images.
    
2. On the cardstock square that measures 3-1/2”x3-3/4” using Black, stamp the invitation message.

Painting:

1. Using the #4 shader float down the left side of the dress with Coral. Tip: to float load brush first in floating medium or water, pat off excess on paper towel. Tip one corner of brush in color, blend color through bristles using short back and forth motion on palette. Color should graduate from heavy color on one corner to no color on opposite corner. If when you begin to paint, you have color showing from both sides of brush, it is improperly loaded. Rinse and start again.
    
2. Using the #1 script liner do the dress tie and swirl along the edge in Coral.

To Finish:

1. Adhere the long stamped strip to the long pink strip and adhere to box.
    
2. Adhere two small dark coral pieces off set on the front of the box on the strip.
    
3. Adhere stamped square without the invitation to the dark coral square and adhere to the top of the box.
    
4. Adhere the invitation to the larger dark coral square in the upper left corner and then adhere to the card.
    
5. Add embellishments of choice.
