Step by Step Instructions:

• Place a small amount of rose and heliatrope metallic paint onto your craft mat and add just one fine mist of water. Mix the colours together.
• Lightly dab a piece of white cardstock into the paint to create a random pattern. Add more water if needed. Set aside to dry.
• Once dry, die cut a selection of flowers, arrange together finishing with a pearl in each centre.
• Die cut birthday wishes using the same cardstock and lavender meadow and glue together.
• Die cut a selection of foliage from the white cardstock.
• Cut a square of lavender meadow card slightly smaller than the 7″ x 7″ card blank and adhere using foam tape.
• Cut a smaller square from white card and secure the stencil over the card using removable tape.
• Use a stipple brush to add the rose and heliatrope metallic paint through the stencil, one colour at a time. Remove the stencil and set card aside to dry.
• Mist the stencil with water to reactivate the paint, place the wet side down onto a piece of white card to create a negative print of the stencil design. Set aside to dry.
• Once dry, adhere the square stencilled card onto the lavender meadow card using foam tape.
• Die cut the outer tag from lavender meadow card and the inner tag from the negative stencilled card. Affix together and add twine.
• Add glitter to the outer edge of the card blank and inner tag.
• Adhere the tag to the card using foam tape.
• Arrange and adhere the flowers and foliage using glue gel.
• Affix the sentiment using glue gel so it overlaps the right hand side of the tag and card.
• Finish by adding 3 gems to the top left hand side and the bottom right of the card.

Top Tip: Place the cardstock under something heavy when drying to help prevent it from warping.

Hope you have fun trying this out. Remember to secure your place on the sofa for tonights live.

Until next time …..
