- If you don't have a pre-made card, cut a 7-1/2"x10-1/2" rectangle from the white cardstock; fold in half to make a 5-1/4"x7-1/2" card.
- Trace the rose pattern with pencil, turn over, and transfer it to the remaining piece of white cardstock by retracing on the back.
- Paint the rose with the Aquash™ watercoloring crayons and water brush using the step-by-step photos as a guide. Let dry.
- Use a fine-pointed scissors to cut out the painted rose.
- Cut tag shapes (about 3/4"x1-1/2") from the green paper, punch holes at the top, and write "MOM" with the gold Metallic Brush pen. Outline with black Sign Pen.
- Also use the gold Metallic Brush pen to highlight the swirls on the green paper.
- Cut the pink and green papers to fit the front of your card, with the green slightly larger than the pink. Attach to the card front with the Tape'n Glue Runner.
- Tie green cord to the tags and charm. Attach the tags and the stem of the rose to the card with the Tape'n Glue Runner. Add dimension to the card by using dimension glue dots to adhere the rose bud to the card.
- Use the Tape'n Glue Runner to attach the ribbon to the bottom edge of the green paper, making sure the small cords are under the edge of the ribbon.
