· Punch 9 of the ½” circles from the Leaf green cardstock and adhere them to the backside of the bottom of the Kraft paper. Keep the sides of the circles touching to create a scalloped look. Snip off any excess from each side. If you start from the middle, your scallop will finish centered. Alternatively, you could just create this using a scalloped edge punch.
· Before attaching the patterned paper with scalloped edge piece, heat emboss the sentiment on to the card base. Using the Versamark ink, stamp the image at the bottom corner of the front of the card base. Generously cover the wet ink with white embossing powder and shake the excess off. Heat emboss the image.
· Adhere the patterned paper with scalloped edge piece above the embossed image.
· Punch a snowflake from the Cryogen White cardstock. Using a piece of the twine, tie a knot through the button holes and attach the embellished button to the snowflake with a glue dot.
