Instructions -
Run the front side of the Light Brown folded piece of paper through the "Stylized Flowers" embossing folder. Then run the back portion through the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. Then use the Gold Paint Pen to edge the bottom of the top flap. Set aside for now.
Using White card stock, use the 3 Swirls mini stamp to make a border using Split Pea ink first, then Bark ink. Next, stamp the inner portion of the White paper with Laurel Leaf ink. Then trim the edges of the stamped portion, following the curves of the stamped impressions. Edge the resulting piece with Umber ink. Glue this cut-out to the card base.
Make the Medallion
Stamp the "Brother" sentiment on a White scrap using Pinecone ink. Then use the 3 Swirls stamp and Khaki ink to add some color and depth around the word. Use the Square Punch to cut out the sentiment. Use the Khaki ink pad to edge the square. Set aside just for a minute.
Then run the Dark Brown paper through the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. Glue it to the back of the sentiment and trim away the excess. Put a brad in the right and left corners of the Brown square. Attach PopIt! mounting tape to the back of the medallion, then run the Green Ribbon through the brads and wrap the ribbon around the card to attach the medallion.
Garnish the medallion with Adhesive Pearls in Chocolate, add a couple of 3 Swirl cut-outs made by stamping in Bark ink on White paper and that's it!
