| Step 1.
Make the Vase element:
We used a large rubber stamp of a snow globe. We stamped
it on vellum (in this example we used black ink, we liked
the way the purple ink coordinated with the flowers in the
example above). We also embossed
our image with like color embossing powder to give it
a shiny raised surface, but you can skip this step if you
like. We then carefully cut out the stamped image, turned
it upside down and applied a small bow to the center.
In the photo above, we also added some sticker strips, like
used on the border of the card, to the neck of the vase under
the bow. In the card above, we simply used a larger bow alone. |
Step 2.
Apply background paper to the front of the card and border
stickers, as shown above.
Assemble the card components. Pick out a bunch of flower
cutouts that look good together, so you are ready to start
arranging.
Attach the vase to the card. We used a Xyron machine, you
could also use spray adhesive. If you use a glue stick , just
put adhesive under the part with the ribbon or the dark printed
parts, otherwise it will show through the translucent vellum
paper.
Have some pop dots at the ready. |
