Zig Zag Bordered Bouquet
Create the look of real stitching with this zig zag border stamp and a corsage pin. Your friends will have to look closely to discover that the border is not stitched with thread. Placing small holes on each stitch adds the convincing effect of a stitched border. The informal design of this card allows you to create invitations for bridal showers, garden parties and afternoon tea parties by adding the party information inside the notecard.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Stamp a Harlequin Pattern Stamp in pixie dust ink on a piece of white card stock. Trim the white card stock to form a rectangle with thin borders around the stamped design. Place a sticky note along the bottom of the harlequin design.
2. After stamping the Showy Blossom once in opera pink and green ink on white card stock, stamp again without reinking to create a soft lightly colored flower. Use the same technique, with orange and green ink, to create the small Three Gem images. Remove the sticky note and mount the stamped design on a piece of pink card stock, allowing enough space for the stamped stitching along the bottom.
3. Stamp the zig zag image in opera pink ink on the bottom of the pink card stock. Place holes at the top and bottom of each stitch with a corsage pin. Mount on a Harlequin Notecard.
