Steps:

1. Open the long envelope card with the pocket facing down.

2. Glide inked sponge in a soft arc across colored paper, beginning and ending on back-up paper.

3. Repeat as desired. Quickly remove back-up scrap paper to keep project clean.

4. Flip pocket card over on new back-up paper and repeat previous steps. Quickly remove this back-up paper, too, and set card aside to dry.

5. Stamp six solid duet sunflowers on sticker paper using brush art markers in colors that will compliment the pocket card and sponged design.

6. Stamp the sunflower outline over the solid image with gold ink. Shake on gold embossing powder liberally and pour excess back into jar. Set with heat tool.

7. Emboss a gold banner in the same manner.

8. Cut out embossed images, leaving a small white edge.

9. Peel off the backing and place sticker designs on the front and back of the pocket card. Save a sticker to seal the card.

10. Trim photo(s) to desired size. Single, double or triple mat on card stock that complements decorated envelop and fit into pocket.

11. Seal and address pocket card. Take to post office for proper postage and hand cancellation.

Tips:

Be sure to shake colors before each use.

Overlapping images create dimension.

Be sure to bag the sponge right away for future use.
