Instructions
- Fold the card base along the score line. Down the right hand side of the card base, stamp the small dandelion seeds in Blackberry Bliss ink
- Take the white panel for the card front and arrange your three strips of DSP across it, leaving an even border of white each side.
- Die cut 2 of the large dandelion seed heads – 1 in basic White and 1 in Bumblee. Die cut 2 each of the flower head piece – 1 set in basic White and 1 set in Blackberry Bliss.
- Stick the matching large dies together with liquid glue, offsetting slightly to create a shadow effect and attach to the front panel. Using dimensionals, stick the pairs of flower heads together, again slightly offset. Add to the front panel with liquid glue.
- Wrap some white twine around the panel 3 times and stick the ends down on the back of the panel with tear & tape. Now stick the panel to the left side of the card front.
- Stamp the greeting onto some basic White card with Bumblebee ink. Trim the end at an angle. Mat this sentiment panel onto some Bumblebee card and trim to match. Attach to the card front, over the twine, with dimensionals.
- Add some White Resin hearts to finish the front.
- Add your Basic White panel inside the card. decorate with another DSP strip and/or some more stamping with the small dandelion seed stamp.
