Step 1 of 9

Trim a sheet of decorative paper to 5 1/2" x 7". 

Step 2 of 9

Tear a panel of vellum almost as wide as the Dragonfly image and longer than the length of decorative paper. Wipe over with anti-static bag, before stamping your gorgeous Dragonfly across the centre.

Shake the Gold embossing powder over the sticky ink, shake off the excess and decant back in to the tub.

Get your heat tool hot, then heat set the powder, moving the heat tool as soon as it starts to turn. 

Step 3 of 9

Place your embossed vellum onto your paper, tuck over the top and bottom and secure on the reverse with double sided tape or tape runner. 

Step 4 of 9

Adhere to your card blank. 

Step 5 of 9

Fussy cut a few butterflies, dragonflies and flowers from one of the Floral Flutter decorative papers. 

Step 6 of 9

Using the dies as a guide, cut ONE drop from the Sepia washi roll. Lift up the backing sheet along one end of the tape and adhere across the top of an A4 sheet of white card. Slowly peel away the backing, as you use your hand to smooth the washi tape down on to the card. Once the backing has been fully removed, you can burnish the washi to ensure there are no air bubbles or creases.

Step 7 of 9

Line up the second die, secure in place and run it through your machine. 

Step 8 of 9

Once all elements are die cut, pop out the sentiments, pick out the one you are using for this project and keep the rest in a tub for future projects.

Step 9 of 9

Adhere your chosen sentiment tab onto your card, then adhere your fussy cut elements where preferrred.
