Instructions

1. Cover the card front with a piece from the top right corner of The Original paper.

2. Place the Stacked Numbers stencil on the right side of the card and hold in place with tape. NOTE: The next steps are shown on white cardstock with blue ink-tinted texture paste for photo clarity, but should be applied directly onto the paper on the card front.

3. Spread texture paste over the stencil with a palette knife, just like you are smoothing icing on a cake, as smooth or as rough as you want the finished product to look like

4. Slowly peel the stencil off the card and repeat on the left side. Allow to dry.

5. Once dry, the translucent texture paste will add a subtle effect, but you could mix a little brown ink into some paste before applying to the card if you want a stronger look

6. Trim a ¾” x 5½” piece of burlap and adhere across the bottom of the card.

7. Fussy cut leaves from The Original and Everyday Memories papers. Arrange like a peacock tail, adhering the first in the centre of the card then layering one on either side until you reach the bottom, using about 15 for a full fan effect.

8. Die cut a Windmill from The Real Deal paper and adhere to the centre of the fanned leaves using little pieces of foam tape.

9. Adhere a Creative Cut sentiment to the centre of the burlap strip using foam tape and add some mint rhinestones over the leaves to finish.
