Directions:

Step One: 

Cut two rectangles from the Peeled Roses patterned paper, one slightly small than the other, to fit a 4 x 5.5-inch card base. Distress and ink the paper rectangles, layer, and attach to the front of the card.

Step Two: 

Cut the chipboard mirror from the frame. Paint the mirror with pink acrylic paint. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle the chipboard with gold embossing powder and apply heat to set.

Step Three: 

Glue pink pearl embellishments to the chipboard mirror.

Step Four: 

Use a scalloped oval die to cut a piece of white cardstock. Use an oval die to cut a piece of Peeled Roses patterned paper. Ink and layer the cardstock and paper to create a frame for the mirror chipboard.

Step Five: 

Fill the center of the mirror chipboard with vellum. Glue the mirror chipboard to the center of the oval frame created in Step Four.

Step Six: 

Use a leaf die to cut four leaves from the Romantic Panels patterned paper. Glue the die-cut leaves to the top right and bottom left of the mirror embellishment. Top the leaves with pink and white roses.

Step Seven: 

Cut the Dreamer Chipboard Word from the frame. Cut the "er" from the chipboard to make the word "Dream." Apply gold embossing powder to the chipboard word and heat to set. Glue the chipboard word to the bottom right corner of the card.

Step Eight: 

Lightly brush the entire card with white acrylic paint for a shabby finish.

Step Nine: 

Embellish the edges of the card and the circumference of the oval with a gold pearl pen.
