1. Create a card blank from white linen card to measure 11cm x 14 1/2cm (4 1/4" x 5 3/4"). Select the paper shown from the Enchanted Mum Paper Collection and draw around your card for sizing using a pencil.
2. Cut out this section from the paper.
3. Add the Berrylicious ink around the edges and heat emboss using clear embossing powder. ( Add the ink to one edge at a time, then heat emboss. Work quickly so that the ink doesn't dry out).
4. Your paper should now look like this.
5. Adhere to the card front using double sided tape.
6. Stamp the Enchanted Mum flowers onto white card using the Berrylicious ink. ( Stamp the flowers twice more )
7. To colour the flowers, use Worn Lipstick coloured ink mixed with water.
8. Add a little of the Worn Lipstick ink to your glass mat and spritz with water. Colour all of the flowers by applying the ink with a soft piece of foam.
9. Add the same ink onto the reverse of all the cards so that both sides of the flowers will be coloured.
10. Die cut all sets of the flowers using the matching Enchanted Mum die.
11. To create the large flower, I used the 3 largest Enchanted Mum flowers. Shape the first two flowers as shown using the stylus with the 8mm tip and the curling tip. Watch this video: https://youtu.be/jJBwQyyza6g for more flower shaping techniques.
12. Take the remaining Enchanted Mum flower and shape gently as shown using the stylus with the 8mm tip and the curling tip.
13. Your 3 shaped flowers.
14. Wrap the cream ribbon around the card twice as shown and secure on the reverse with double sided tape.
15. Select the tags from the Enchanted Mum Paper Collection and die cut using the matching oval tag die.
16. Gently colour around the edges using the green promarker pen.
17. Create a triple bow from natural twine on the bow maker.
18. Thread the tags onto the twine, tie around the card as shown and secure with a knot on the reverse.
19. Adhere the Enchanted Mum flower together using a wet glue.
20. Adhere the Enchanted Mum flower to the card front using hot glue.
21. Add a pink insert to complete the card.
22. Completed card.
