I made this for a friend for Christmas. She can decorate the picture area as she chooses.

The clipboard used is Stampin Up's 4 1/2 x 9 inch clipboard. I started by preparing a piece of white CS to stamp. I sponged  Close to Cocoa, Really Rust, Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and More Mustard over the entire sheet. (I did enough for 2 flowers.) Here is what the paper looked like.

You are then going to stamp with VersaMark using the large flower 3 images. Use clear emboss over the VersaMark and use your heat gun to emboss the flower. I then cut my paper out into squares.

Next I brayered over the flower with Close to Cocoa and then wiped off the image.

Now you want to define where you want your 3 flower layers to be. So carefully cut out the large flower first. Then the second layer and then the top layer. I then used the stem kind of stamp in the set and stamped on a scrap with close to cocoa and embossed it with clear. Use dimensionals to put your flower together. Set aside while you do the clipboard.

I cut a 4 1/2 x 7" piece of close to cocoa and cut out around the top. I then stamped it with the Tres Chic stamp.

Then I cut a piece of Close to Cocoa Designer Paper 4 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches. These will overlap when put on the clipboard. I then used our Anywhere Glue on the back of the biggest piece on both the paper and the clipboard. Then attach the smaller piece. Add your ribbon, I used our Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon. Love that stuff! Cut a piece of Chocolate Chip CS to 4 1/4 x 3 1/4. Use the corner rounder punch to do the corners. Locate where you want it and glue it down. Tie a piece of ribbon around the top in a knot. Attach your flower at the base of the clipboard.

Stamp on a piece of Close to Cocoa with the Dare to Be Fabulous Stamp. Layer it with a piece of a chocolate chip CS. Attach to the clipboard.

Enjoy and Happy Stamping!
