square card

1 Make an A4 piece of watercoloureffect paper as described above and stamp on some flower designs in a random pattern across the card, using both Aloe Vera and celadon blue ink, overlapping the flowers a little.

2 Make this decorated background up into a card that measures 12cm square then colour in the centres and stamens of the flowers with the Gelly Roll pens. Add a pink insert cut to the same size as the card and attach this with double-sided tape.

3 Tie organza aqua ribbon around the spine of the card and finish with a bow. Stamp three small flower images onto three different cards; green, blue and mauve. Decorate them with a silver pen and stick them on top of each other with foam pads for depth. Adhere to the front of the card and stick on a purple gem in the centre of the smallest flower.
