Step 1 of 11

Each of the stencils in the Quattro D Charlotte collection are numbered and have hearts in the corner to help you line each one up, if required. 

Use your blending tool to apply ink through each stencil, on to white card trimmed to 7 x 5", as follows:

Stencil 1 Walnut Stain, applying it at different pressures, to create light and shade

Stencil 2 Black Soot

Stencil 3 Surfboard applied lightly on florals, Magenta lightly for lips/eyes

Stencil 4 Surfboard with more intensity on florals, Magenta with more pressure on the eyes

Stencil 5 Limeade

Stencil 6 Hedgerow

Step 2 of 11

Stamp over your stencilled image using your Midnight hybrid ink pad. 

Step 3 of 11

Use the coordinating die to cut her out. 

Step 4 of 11

Line up your die cut element inside the embossing folder and run it through your machine. Pop our Charlotte to one side. 

Step 5 of 11

Cut TWO pieces of white card 7 x 5". 

Place the first piece inside the Quattro D Sunflower embossing folder, so the image goes off the left side of the card. Run it through your machine. 

Place the second piece of white card inside the folder, run it through your machine and use the coordinating die to cut out your Sunflower. 

Step 6 of 11

Tear TWO strips of vellum, one wider than the other and slightly wider than your white embossed card. 

Place them across the lower third of the card, tuck the edges over and secure on the reverse with double-side tape or a tape runner.

Step 7 of 11

Adhere on to black card trimmed to 7 1/4 x 5 1/4", then on to white card cut to 7 1/2 x 5 1/2" and finally on to your black card blank. 

Step 8 of 11

Use foam pads to adhere Charlotte slightly to the left of your card. 

Step 9 of 11

Adhere your die cut, embossed Sunflower so it's coming up from behind her right side, trimming off any overhang. 

Step 10 of 11

Place the detailed "Beautiful" die on to a scrap of white card and the solid die on to black card. Run both through your machine then adhere the sentiments together. 

Step 11 of 11

Adhere your sentiment where required, to complete your beautiful project.
