Trim this paper from the Wistful Charm pack, to 6 3/4 x 4 3/4". 

Tear this vellum sheet slightly smaller than the patterned paper. 

Secure the vellum on to the patterned paper and then on to your pink card blank. Pop to one side.

NB: When adhering the vellum, apply the glue where your frame is going to sit, so as not to see the glue through the vellum.

Tip: Using a tape runner to secure vellum, applying tiny amounts only, seems to be the least visible.  

From your paper pack, fussy cut the ornate frame and floral aspect, as shown here. 

Using your finger pad, lightly apply Gold gilding wax around your frame. Buff with a soft cloth to enhance the shine. 

Use your low-tack masking tape to mask off the frame itself, leaving the inner script panel visible. 

Stamp the bird in Midnight, so it's visible within the frame as shown here. 

Carefully remove the masking tape, once the ink is dry. Use your white gel pen to add accents and highlights to your stamped image. 

Stamp the sentiment, from A Beauutiful Place To Be, in Midnight, on to a piece of coordinating paper. Tear around the sentiment then adhere to a piece of the vellum, tearing around that to create your sentiment "mat". 

Using your craft knife, cut around just the top aspect of the floral element at the base of your frame.

Adhere your frame to your prepped card, ensuring the "cut" area of the floral element is NOT glued down. 

To finish, secure your sentiment in place, tucking it just under the "cut" area of your flowers, as shown here.
