Instructions

1. Cut Garden District paper (B side) slightly smaller than 13.5cm x 13.5cm to leave a small white border when glued to card.
2. Using a scalpel, cut the bottom edge of 2 of the purple stripes starting and stopping at least 1cm from edges. See photo # 1
3. Fussy cut a selection of flowers and leaves from the Market Garden and the Apartment papers. Cut a couple of different butterflies too.
4. Stamp the Dots Mark Making stamp randomly on the Garden District striped paper. I used Archival Watering Can ink pad. See Photo # 2
5. Using double-sided adhesive tape around the edges, adhere the striped paper to the base card. See photo # 3
6. Cut out the black spotted banner from the cut-a-part sheet and glue to top right-hand corner.
7. Arrange the flowers and leaves on card, tucking some of them in the slits. I used white glue at the bottom of each flower and foam dots near the tops to raise up some of the elements. See photo # 4
8. Add the ‘My Sweet Love’ sentiment with foam dots. Using white glue, adhere the two ends of sentiment to card. See photo # 5
9. Using white glue, adhere two butterflies amongst the flowers.
