Instructions:
- Scrunch your tissue paper for texture. Then apply the adhesive sheet to the card stock and pat the tissue paper down.
- Die cut two leaves from your card stock and apply green ink to emphasize the texture. This technique gives the leaves a realistic touch.
- Ink up some White Photo Corners with a red ink and then begin placing them on your pre-punched circle.
- Then, ink up some more White Photo Corners with pink ink. Add the pink layer to your flower.
- Continue alternating colors until you come to the center. Finish off the center of the flower with a 3D Foam Heart. Apply yellow Fun Flock to the heart.
- Stamp your card with your intended message. Adhere the leaves to the card using the E-Z Dots® Permanent. The dots only stick to the thin area of the leaves so there is no worry about visible adhesive.
- Lift a few of the leaves with 3D Foam Squares (Small) to add dimension. Adhere your paper flower to the card.
