Instructions for a Gold Foiled Autumnal Bird Card
- Fold the card base along the score line.
- Gut the centre from the mat of Gold Foil to use for die cutting and other projects. Stick the Gold Foil to the card base.
- Attach the DSP to the card base.
- Stamp two birds in Early Espresso ink onto Smoky Slate cardstock. Die cut them along with two die cut Gold Foil birds. Offsetting them slightly, stick the two stamped birds to the two foil birds. Stick these to the card front.
- Stamp the greeting in Versamark onto a strip of Early Espresso card stock and heat emboss with Gold Embossing powder. Cut the end at an angle. Stick to a strip of Gold Foil and then attach to the card front on top of a piece of the Gold Shimmer ribbon.
- Tie a piece of Gold Simply Elegant trim around the card and tie with a bow.
- Stick a thin strip of Gold Foil across the bottom of the Smoky Slate insert before sticking it inside the card.
