How To Guide - Step 1

Select a piece of the Timeless patterned paper and trim to 6 x 6’. Trim a piece of Kraft card to 6 1/2 x 6 1/2’ and put it to one side.

How To Guide - Step 2

Stamp the Quattro D Charlotte onto the patterned paper using the Midnight ink.

How To Guide - Step 3

Colour the image using watercolours. Then lightly blend some of the Cotton pigment ink over the patterned paper around the image. Take care not to add white over the stamped image. This will help the image pop from the paper. 

How To Guide - Step 4

Distress the edges of the paper with scissors and then blend a little bit of the Brushed Corduroy around the edges. 

How To Guide - Step 5

Wrap metallic cord around the paper and secure. Adhere to the Kraft card. 

How To Guide - Step 6

Using the dies as a guide, cut ONE drop from the Sepia washi roll. Lift up the backing sheet along one end of the tape and adhere across the top of an A4 sheet of white card. Slowly peel away the backing, as you use your hand to smooth the washi tape down on to the card. Once the backing has been fully removed, you can burnish the washi to ensure there are no air bubbles or creases.

How To Guide - Step 7

Line up the second die, secure in place and run through your machine. 

How To Guide - Step 8

Once all elements are die cut, pop out the sentiments, pick out the one you are using for this project and keep the rest in a tub for future projects.

How To Guide - Step 9

Adhere to the front of the card blank and add your chosen sentiment. Finally add touches of glitter glue to the flowers in the stamped Image.
