instructions

1. Blue Swirls - Cut blue card slightly smaller than the blank, and add texture using the embossing folder. Stick red spotted ribbon to the left-hand side of the blue rectangle, with double-sided tape. Tie a smaller piece into a knot, fixing with glue to make a bow.
   
   Using versamark ink, stamp flowers in a random pattern on white. Apply blue pearlescent pigment powder to the printed images with a small paintbrush. Brush or blow away any excess.
   
   Trim a rectangle to fit the front and layer onto green card. Use red ink to print a flower onto white, cut out and embellish with a green brad. Attach the flower over one of the shapes on the patterned piece, using a 3-D foam pad.
   
   Using double-sided tape, stick red ribbon across the bottom half of the stamped card, tucking in the end on the left-hand side. Fix the floral piece to the embossed card, securing the loose ribbon with a green brad. Attach to the main card, with tape.
