Directions: The finished hinge card measures, 14.08 cm x 20 cm.
All the stamping is done with the gold embossing powder unless stated other wise. For the card base, cut from the card stock, 14.8 cm x 20 cm twice. For the hinge, cut a strip 20 cm x 3 cm. Apply double sided tape to this, then make a fold at 1.5 cm. Adhere together. Cut the card matting as follows: From card stock cut 19.3 cm x 14.9 cm, 16.7 cm x 11.7 cm. Taking the design paper, cut 18. 7 cm x 13.8 cm. Prick wholes along the edges of this paper and embroider with the gold thread. Adhere all the layers together with the double sided tape or glue. For the oval frame, take the decorative oval die and cut 4-5 cuts. Cut away the inside lace so you have only the out side frame. Glue the layers together so you have a chipboard frame. Using he versa- mark, apply this to the top so it does not cover the frame completely. Apply the embossing powder. Do this a few times so you get the coverage you want. Stamp and die cut the Mum flower so you have 4 of the largest flower shape. Color with the inks then shape the flower using the flower shaping tools. Add a large pearl bead. You can find tips on the flower making by clicking onto the video and tips in the product list. Stamp and die cut the vine front banner. Color this with the inks. Making the 4 dragonflies from the flower stamp and die cutting, color and shape these.
Adhere the oval frame, the made Mum flower. Adhere the vine banner edges to the frame, draping over the flower. Shape the banner before adhering a little with your fingers so it will be rounded. Spot glue to hold it's place. Add the dragonflies. To finish add stickles to the wing tips.
You see what I mean now....if you go back to the Heartfelt Creations blog or site you will see sooooo much more eye candy....the design team are so great there. A lot of fun to be had for all. Have a scrappy day,
Inky hugs from me to you.
