3. Use liquid glue to adhere the three dry-embossed layers to the inside left and inside right of fun fold, and the center.

8. Slowly build your bouquet on the card center, starting with the stems and leaves first. Place your tulips in a pleasing manner on top of the stems.
9. Tie a bow from the Evening Evergreen Windowpane Check Ribbon. Adhere it with multiple Mini-Glue Dots. (I sometimes even add a few drops of liquid glue there too.)
10. Place the Bumblebee Trinkets in a visual triangle, emphasizing the tulip trio.
11. This will DEFINITELY require extra postage, but OH how the recipient will be so delighted! It will be just like receiving a fresh bouquet – but this one will last a lot longer.
