To finish the card, cut a 4-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ piece of white cardstock and adhere the swirl embossed cardstock piece on top. Place the swirl embossed rectangle pieces on white cardstock next and adhere with 3D foam tape and a bit of multi matte medium. Finally, adhere the mini roses cardstock piece in the center using 3D foam tape and a bit of multi matte medium. Lastly, adhere the sentiment piece to finish the card.
