Hi
for this card i used a 8x8 card i inspired by the moroccan dies from spellbinders, i cut four boarders out of white card then i cut eight corner accents and i used this teal coloured card from hunkydory (i love this card its the adorable scorable card) i then embossed a 6x6 square of teal card with lovingly baroque
embossing folder by couture creations i then cut a large lables twenty-four out of white card and cut the third lables die out of the centre and then stamped my sentiment and cut this with the fourth die from the lables set i also cut a flower using the spiral blossom three die i then started to mat and layer my card together starting with my base card i layered teal card and then white card on this layer i used the cosimic shimmer pearl glue to my the pearls around the edge then let them dry ( i did this when i was planning my card so they would dry by the time i put them together because you dont want to squash them which i have done on a few occasions ) i then cut another piece of teal card  and then another white card  then i added my embossed card and added the boarder all round the four edges then added the large lable and added the corners to the four corners and i used a wet glue ( i use cosmic shimmers dry clear glue ) then added the last corners to the sides hiding the arms behind the back then added my sentiment to the centre and i had teal  ribbon that matched my card stock ( the ribbon is from creative expressions ) i double up my bow and added two  hat pins and a flower .
