Step 1 of 11

Trim a piece of white card to 3 3/4 x 5 3/4" and secure stencil 1 in place. 

Step 2 of 11

Each of the stencils in the Quattro D collection are numbered and have hearts in the corner to help you line each stencil up, if required. 

Use your blending tool to apply ink through each stencil, on to the white card as follows:

Stencil 1 Sherbet but only lightly

Stencil 2 Sherbet but with more pressure for a more vibrant colour

Stencil 3 Bittersweet

Stencil 4 Hedgerow but lightly

Stencil 5 Hedgerow with more pressure

Stencil 6 Hedgerow and Heather along the stems

Step 3 of 11

Stamp over your stencilled image with the Midnight ink. 

Step 4 of 11

Use the coordinating die to cut it out. 

Step 5 of 11

Line up inside the embossing folder and run it through your machine. 

Step 6 of 11

Cut another piece of card to 3 3/4 x 5 3/4", place inside the folder so the floral image is coming onto the left side and run it through your machine. 

Step 7 of 11

Secure a piece of torn vellum across the bottom third of the embossed card, taping it on the reverse, then adhere to black card cut to 4 x 6". 

Step 8 of 11

Stamp your sentiment in Midnight, in the top right corner. 

Step 9 of 11

Adhere to white card cut to 5 1/2 x 7 1/2" and then onto black card cut to 5 3/4 x 7 3/4. Finally, adhere to the front of your card blank. 

Step 10 of 11

Adhere your 3D Hibiscus onto your card where preferred. 

Step 11 of 11

Finish your card by adding a few sequins on, under and around your Hibiscus.
