  2. Create inlaid embossing panel as above.
  3. Using Pinking Hearts Border Punch create border strip with Whisper White cardstock.
  4. Layer ribbon pieces around the back and affix with SNAIL. Attach to embossed layer. Attach to card base.
  5. Stamp greeting in Real Red and punch out with large oval.
  6. Punch scallop oval out of glimmer paper and adhere greeting with SNAIL. Attach to card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
