- Using warm breeze ink, stamp the border in the top centre of the card, turn 90 degrees and stamp again, repeat twice more.
- Stamp the trio of hearts using warm breeze ink in each corner using either an acrylic block or stamping platform.
- Apply glitter to the outside edge of the 8″x8″ card blank and also the white card layer. Set aside to dry.
- Die cut a selection of leaves from totally turquoise card and shape the leaves by gently bending back the tip of each leaf.
- Die cut two medium and two small four petal flowers from fabulous fuchsia card. Shape the flower petals by gently rolling the top back around the tweezers. Build flowers and add a gem to the centre of each.
- Affix white card layer to the card base using foam tape.
- Arrange and adhere the flowers and foliage using glue gel.
- Finish by adding three gems to the top left and bottom right of the fabulous fuchsia card.
