instructions
-
Take pink card, 12.5cm x 23cm, and mount onto chipboard. Trim stripe paper slightly smaller and attach using double-sided tape. Cut lime card, 9cm x 20cm, and fix centrally to the striped panel. Put to one side.
-
Take large chipboard letters as required to spell out the recipient’s name, and ink in opera pink and orchid. Colour thoroughly several times before clear embossing, then re-ink and emboss once more for a rich, glossy enamel finish.
-
Mount the letters onto the lime panel using 3-D foam pads, and glue several white daisies at random around them. Hot-fix volcano crystals to the middles of the flowers. Finally, punch two holes in the top of the name card and thread with lime grosgrain ribbon, securing at the back.
