Step by step

1. Prepare your card base. Look through the decorative papers in your kit and select your colour scheme for the watercolour background you'll be creating. ▶ watch 14:15
2. Stamp the floral design onto white cardstock using your chosen ink colour. Press the stamp firmly and evenly to ensure a clear image transfer. ▶ watch 15:00
3. Apply watercolour or diluted ink to your card panel using a blending tool or sponge to create a soft, misty background effect. Build up the colour gradually, blending as you go for a gentle watercolour wash. ▶ watch 15:30
4. Use the layering stencil from the kit to create 3D roses. Ink the stencil with the dye inks and die-cut multiple layers to build up dimensional floral elements. ▶ watch 16:00
5. Build up the 3D flowers by layering the cut floral pieces together. Use foam pads between the layers to create dimension and depth. Position the layered flowers onto your card design. ▶ watch 17:00

Tips from the show

• The layering stencil system is fail-proof and allows you to create 3D effects without problems.
