Assembly Instructions
Fold the 5" x 3 1/2" Twilight CS in half, creating a top-fold card.

Using Chocolate ink and the sponge, sponge the edges of the card and the 5/8" x 3 1/2" Small Stripe B&T. Lightly sponge the card front.

Using Chocolate ink and the sponge, lightly sponge the petals of the White Daisy flower.

Adhere the 5/8" x 3 1/2" Small Stripe B&T across the bottom portion of the card front, about 1/2" from the bottom edge.

Using Chocolate ink and the second generation stamping technique, stamp the postage image along the top portion of the card, slightly overlapping the B&T.

Wrap the 15" Waxy Flax twice around the B&T. Secure with a knot on the back of the card.

Using the coarse sandpaper, distress the top of the silver brad.
Slide the brad through the center of the flower. Attach the flower/brad combo to the bottom right portion of the card, overlapping the B&T and the Waxy Flax.

I can't take credit for this, our corporate training board had this and I loved it and wanted to share! I love doing ATC Cards and swapping with my friends! I'm building quite a collection. In fact, I used and ATC Card I made for a 12x12 layout. I'll post it later after I've found the photo to post.
