Let’s Create
- Affix all stamps to acrylic blocks.
- Fold and burnish card base using bone folder.
- Attach the large white panel to the card front.
- Add the long strip of dsp to the strip of Calypso Coral.
- Add the strip from Step 5 to the left side of the card front about ¼” from the side of the White panel.
- Use Calypso Coral ink and the middle flower to stamp it randomly 3 times on the small White panel. See photo above for placement.
- Create 3 masks using masking paper and the middle flower. Here’s how:
- Stamp the middle flower on three pieces of Masking Paper
- Die cut or fussy cut each flower.
- Place the three masks over the 3 flowers you stamped. These will protect your flowers while allowing you to stamp more images closer to the flowers.
- Ink the leaf spray as below and then stamp on the White panel filling in the white spaces around the three flowers.
- Ink the leaf spray with Parakeet Party
- Use a sponge dauber to apply some Pretty Peacock ink to the stamp similar to the leaf sprays in the DSP
- Remove the masks.
- Add the panel from to the Calypso Coral panel. Add this panel to the card front using dimensionals centering it on the large White panel and not the card base.
- Add Iridescent Rhinestones on the right side of the card front.
