13. Place some Stampin’ Dimensionals on the front of the card, sticking them to the strips of DP, making sure that they will be positioned behind the die cut label. 14. Feed a 28” piece of ⅝” Whisper White Organza ribbon down through the right hand slot and up through the left hand slot. Pull the ribbon so that you have about 8” to the left of the die cut label. 15. Remove the backing from the Stampin’ Dimensionals on the card and stick the die cut label to them. 16. Wrap the right hand end of the ribbon around the inside of the card, so that both ribbon ends are now on the left hand side of the card and tie the ribbon into a bow on the front of the card. Trim the ribbon ends on an angle, using ribbon scissors. 17. Stick some small and medium pearls onto the card, in the center of some of the flowers on the die cut label. You’re done!
