Step by step

tap a picture to see it big · tap DONE as you go - this device remembers
Step 1 of 10

Choose a sheet of paper from the Shades Of Blue Pad. Draw round the tag & cut out.

Step 2 of 10

Adhere the paper to the tag then blend some of the Surfboard ink around the edges. 

Step 3 of 10
Blend the Surfboard, Mowed Lawn and Black Soot inks through the stencils, leaving out stencil number 3. 
Once you have done stencils 1,2,4 & 5 take a palette knife and add the IZINK through stencil 3. 
This way you can finish your Bluebell and leave the IZINK to dry.
Step 4 of 10

Once dry, die cut the Bluebell. 

Step 5 of 10

Adhere the Bluebell to your MDF tag, using Silicone glue. 

Step 6 of 10

Using the dies as a guide, cut ONE drop from the Typewriter 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.

Step 7 of 10

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

Step 8 of 10

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.

Step 9 of 10

Choose one of the Washi sentiments and chop into 3 sections. Adhere using the silicone glue.

Step 10 of 10

Finally add some gems. Make a small hole in the tag and add some of the metallic cord. 

You made it!
