Fussy cut the floral images as shown.
Using EZ-Tear® Tape adhere the fussy cut florals as shown and trim the excess off.
Open the 5"x7" cardbase. Measure in 1/4" from edges of the card front. Cut out the center of the cardfront. Apply 1/4" EZ-Tear® Tape to the inside of the card front.
Adhere the Acetate image to the backside of the cardfront.

Cut a 5"x7" rectangle of Neenah® Astrobrights Martian Green Cardstock for the back interior panel.
