Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
On Coconut White card sized 10 x 13cm, stamp the flowers with Versafine ink.
Optional: you can use the Shadow Boxes Collection Scalloped Lattice Frames Set B to cut this card.
Tip: Versafine gives a nice clear impression and can be coloured with markers or any kind of watercolour without smudging.
Step 2
Stamp the flowers again on a small piece of Coconut White card.
Step 3
Colour the flowers on the small piece pf card and the petals on the bigger card with Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Shakers diluted with water to make a watercolour paint. Keep a piece of cloth to take off too much water from your brush, and a bowl of clean water to clean you brush in between colours.
Step 4
fussy cut the coloured flowers and attach then to the card with foam tape over the stamped image, for extra dimension and interest.
Step 5
Emboss a 21.8 x 17cm piece of Amethyst card using Bountiful Blooms embossing folder and colour it with Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Kiss in Antique Rose.
Tip: Apply generously so it gets into the debossed parts and go over it again to take off the excess and get a thin layer on the raised parts.
Step 6
Stamp the sentiment onto a small piece of Coconut White card.
Step 7
Stamp the flowers with the Chalk Cloud ink on a piece of Coconut White card sized 3 x 14.8cm. Tape it to a strip of Wisteria card sized 4 x 14.8cm.
Tape the Glitter Kiss card to a white base sized 14.8 x 29cm and tape the strips on top.
Tip: Where it says tape you can also use glue, I find tape very easy and less messy to use on the particular card.
Step 8
Position all the pieces on the base card. Glue into place.
