Instructions: Score a landscape A4 sheet of sahara sand card stock at 3” and 6”. Cut 2.75” off the bottom of the card and fold the 2 pieces into zig zags.
Select pink and blue papers from the collection and cut slightly smaller pieces of paper for each panel of the card. Edge the pink paper with Rococo Rose in and the blue papers with Balmy Blue ink. And adhere to the panels of the card.
Adhere the shortest panel from the 2.75” card to the back of the card as shown and the longer 2.75” panel to the front of the card.
Make the flowers: Stamp using melon mambo ink onto the flower shaping card. Colour the centre using saffron ink and the outer petal with princess pink ink. Die cut. Edge the petals with berry burst ink. Use chic magenta watercolour paint to colour the reverse of the petals and shape the petals whilst still damp.
Make the leaves:- Stamp onto the flower shaping paper using old olive ink. Colour using granny apple green ink, die cut and colour reverse with the granny apple green. Edge the front very lightly with shaded spruce ink. Spritz with water and shape using the flower shaping kit.
