INSTRUCTIONS:

The finished size of this hinged tent fold card is 8 ¼” x 5 ¾” (20.8cm x 14.5cm)

Cut the hinged tent fold card to the above measurements. Before adhering together: Find the design paper in the paper collection with the yellow and blue in the print. Trim this a little smaller than the card base. Adhere to the card front. Taking the oval die from the Eyelet oval frame die and cut an oval in the middle of the card front. For the card back inside, stamp the lighthouse with the rocks in front of it and color this with the zig markers. Taking the matching die for the rocks stamp and die cut this a few extra times. When colored adhere to the lighthouse scene in its place. Taking the Honey Pot ink and inking foam tool, ink around the edges of the stamping so you have a yellow hue around the scene when the card is closed. Add a yellow hue where the light is in the lighthouse. Taking the cloud stamp, stamp die cut then color x 2. Adhere a large and small cloud to the lighthouse scene. Now adhere the card hinges together to form the tent fold.

Adhere a large cloud to the card front so it laps over into the oval hole. Stamp three extra lighthouse scenes, as you will use the water part of the stamping. Trim away the water once it is colored. Adhere to the lower oval and inside of the card so you see only water for a base. Make two boats and adhere as seen in the card photo. Make the sentiment using the sign from the Cherry Blossom Retreat stamp and die sets. Make the sea gulls, die cut extra for the layering 3-4 layers. Adhere together then adhere to the card front.

Make the flowers: Take the stamp and die collection set for these flowers and the matching blossom shaping mold. Stamp and die cut enough to use for the card. Color the elements using the Yellow zigg marker pen and a water pen for the flowers and a green color marker for the leaves. When colored, run the flower petals and leaves through the die cutting machine with the mold. For each flower prick a hole in the centre with a pricking tool and thread the stamens through the hole. Secure the stamens using the hot glue gun. Before trimming the stamen threads away apply glue to the petal edges with the old water brush, dip the petals in the glitter and put aside to dry. When dry trim away the threads, now they are ready to use.

Adhere in clusters to the top left of the oval and lower right. Placing the sentiment then another cluster of two flowers and leaves to the left side. To finish the card, apply the liquid Lacquer to the sentiment, seagulls, bouts and all the windows in the scene.
