Instructions: Cut a paper from the collection slightly smaller than the 8 x 8” card base. Ink around the edges with iris ink and adhere to the front of the tent fold card base.
Die cut 4x Regal Pocket Accents using white card. Sponge dries clear glue onto the diecuts and cover with glitter. Allow to dry and add to the corners of the card base.
Cut a 6” square panel from the paper collection and adhere to a slightly larger piece of white card. Tear a strip of vellum, approx. 2” - 3” wide and edge with the iris ink. Wrap this around the centre of the 6” panel and secure with dries clear adhesive in the areas which will covered by the flower and tag. Add to the centre of the card using foam pads.
Stamp the leaves onto flower shaping paper using cottage ivy ink, colour using new sprout and die cut. Place face down into the shaping mold, spritz with water and run through the die cutting machine to shape.
Stamp 2 of the largest dahlia and 4 of the smaller dahlia onto art foam paper using iris ink. Die cut and colour the petals and reverse using fuchsia pink ink. Heat the petals with a heat tool to shape and allow to cool. Thread through the centre of all the petals: 1x rose hip stamen and 6 double medium pearl stamens, secure each layer with a small amount of hot glue. Dab with dries clear adhesive and sprinkle with glitter. Remove excess.
Stamp the sentiment onto the tag from the paper pad using black ink and die cut the tag. Tie metallic thread around the right side of the tag and add the tag to the vellum strip using a foam pad on the right side only.
Position and hot glue the flower and leaves into place.
