Die cut the out side frame and the sentiment box once from the paper and once from the matching craft foam. Stamp the sentiment from the My Friend Sentiments stamp set using the coffee ink. Bring the Friar Brown ink to the edges of the paper and then adhere the paper to the craft foam. Adhere all together then adhere in place across the flag print in the circle.To make the flowers, stamp the Purr-fect Posies in the coffee ink onto the white stamping card then bring the colour to the image using the zig markers, Light Violet and Yellow. When finished colouring die cut all the images. You can bring shape to the die cuts by using the 3D flower mold. Use the flower shaping tools to bring further shape if needed. Make a hole in the centre of the flower with the pricier from the spellbinders tool. Thread the green stamens through the whole adding another flower layer if wanted. Secure all together by using the hot glue gun at the back of the flower petal and stamen thread. When you have applied the glitter with clear drying glue and all is dry, trim the stamen threads away ready for use on the card. Stamp, color and die cut the leaves. Run these through the flower mold to bring shape to them. Stamp, color then die cut the elements used in the card using the coffee ink and the white stamping card. Adhere all the elements when finished in place as seen in the card photo. For the flowers follow the printed flower line and add flowers at the side of the sentiment. To finish the card, apply the diamond stickles to the flower centres and the leaves on each side of the circle coming out from under the flowers. Apply the Crystal Lacquer to the cat and dogs eyes also the fruit on the trees in the pots.
