Let's get started!
Directions:
Choose the 6" x 6" card fronts from the paper pad that you wish to use on your card. Trim them so they will be 1/8 of an inch smaller than the fold out card panel.
Using the border dies decide which ones you want to use where on your card.
Lay the die on top of the card with a piece of white card stock under it, using tape secure them in place.
Run them through the die machine and cut out.
This is what it will look like. They do not need to cover the length of the card so don’t worry about that part.
Do the same thing with the designer paper. You can cut 2 at one time so you can cover both front and back.
TOP TIP: Be sure to put the fronts of the papers together before cutting if you do the back and front of a panel at once.
With everything cut out you are now ready to glue everything in place.
For the back panel cut the HCD1-7144 Medallion die out of white card stock
Glue this on the back of the back panel
then adhere to the card.
Your card is now ready to decorate.
Stamp the flowers and leaves on white card stock with Bamboo Leaves Memento ink.
Color the leaves with Bamboo Leaves and
high light the edges with Distress ink Peeled Paint.
Color the flowers with Brilliance Orchid, on the edge highlight with the Walnut Stain
Stamp the Branches and color in, use the Tombow blender pen for small areas.
Cut the frame apart.
Stamp the Doves on white card stock with Encore Metallic Silver ink, apply glue all over them and add the Crystal Clear glitter.
Mist the flowers and leaves with water and shape using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.
With all the flowers and leaves shaped and dry, you are ready to adhere to the card.
You are ready now to add White Crystal Drops and glitter to all the flowers and leaves.
