- Ink the flower stamp with the alcohol lift-ink pad and then stamp onto the Opaque White Craft Plastic sheet.
- Then add stamp the flower design onto the Grafix White Inkjet Shrink Film and again onto a sheet of copy paper. (Make sure to clean the stamps between each color change.)
- Cut out the flower from the copy paper and use it to mask the flower image on the Opaque White Craft Plastic sheet.
- Ink the flower stamp with the alcohol lift-ink pad and stamp to one side and partially on the masked flower then stamp onto more copy paper.
- Repeat process but on the other side of the masked flower.
- Cut out the flowers from the copy paper and use to mask the other flower images on the Opaque White Craft Plastic sheet.
- Repeat the stamping process with the leaf stamp over the masked flowers.
- Blot any residue from the stamped images, and then use Posca pens to enhance the stamped lines.

- Cut out the flower on the White Inkjet Shrink Film and punch out two holes.
- Follow the Shrink Film instructions on the back of the package to shrink the button.

- Attach the die cut sentiment to the 1″x 5 ½” purple card panel.
- Then attach the purple card panel with die cut sentiment to the front of the card blank.
- Finish by adding ribbon to the shrunk button before it is glued next to the sentiment.
