1. This card uses four different papers. Let's start with the largest, the Long Card in English Rose. Cut it into a rectangle, 4 x 8" and score to fold in half so you have two squares, 4 x 4", with the texture on the outside.

2. Punch or cut an opening in the front of your card, 1 3/4" square. Note sample for placement.

3. Cut a rectangle out of Long Card Chalk Pink, 2 1/4 x 2 3/4".

4. Center and attach this piece to the inside of the front the card, over window opening on the front. Make sure to attach only around the outside of the rectangle, so it doesn't show through the front.

5. Lay the card down, open and front up, and, using an X-acto knife, cut two diagonal slices through the center of the window, so that you have four triangular sections of Chalk Pink. Fold and roll them over using a narrow pencil, from the inside of the card through the front, as shown in the sample. Lightly sponge the triangles with Violet Ink. Lay the card aside for now.

6. Cut a square of watercolor paper, 2 1/4" square. Stamp the Satin Slipper 1890 in Black Outliner in the center of the square. Add color with Violet Designer Ink and a watercolor brush. Have fun with it! The looser your hand when watercoloring, the better.

7. Stitch a red bead on shoe as shown. Attach the square to the center of the inside of the card by sewing it in place, with white thread and a zig-zag pattern if so desired.

8. Cut two rectangles out of the Long Card in Pebble, 1 x 4". Stamp "For the Bride" and "Happily Ever After" in Black Outliner, one on each rectangle (on the textured side). Add color with your Violet ink pad (press the edge of the pad lightly against the surface of the paper to create an interesting texture, and drag the edges of the rectangles against the surface of the ink pad).

9. Attach the rectangles to the inside of the card as shown. Punch one 1/8" hole at the outer edge of each rectangle. On the front of the card, set a lavender eyelet, and thread your length of Sheer Pink Ribbon through it.

10. On a Heart Forever Tag, stamp "Love You" in Black Outliner. Wait for it to dry, and then punch a 1/8" hole at the top, and thread onto your ribbon on the front of the card.

11. Tie your card closed and attach to your gift for the bride, and your package will be the talk of the wedding gift table or bridal shower!
