Create a card base out of colored cardstock. To create the letterpress effect, die-cut the Vine w/Leaves out of a piece of clear acrylic. Lay die-cut Vine w/Leaves on a piece of scratch paper. Using an ink pad and a rubber brayer, completely coat the acrylic Vine w/Leaves with ink. Put one cutting pad and a piece of thin scratch paper onto the Multipurpose Platform. Carefully transfer the acrylic Vine w/Leaves onto the platform inked side up. Print invitation onto a piece of cardstock and trim to desired size. Place invitation right side down onto the inked acrylic Vine w/Leaves. Cover the card with the Silicone Rubber and Impressions Pad and run through the Big Shot or BIGkick Machine. Carefully lift pads away from the card. Lift the card straight up from the acrylic piece. Trim edges as desired and adhere to card front. Die-cut Flowers out of cardstock and adhere to card. Embellish with jewels.
