Instructions

Step 1

Trim two pieces of green paper to measure slightly smaller than the front and inside of the easel card.

Step 2

On the front section, print dragonfly pattern using the Continuous Stamping Wheel™ leaving a border at the left hand edge. Ink around the edge with the brown ink pad.

Attach seam binding ribbon and decorate with a double bow.

Step 3

Trim white paper to 2" x 4" and the green, so it is slightly smaller. Matt and layer together using double sided tape. Punch circles from brown paper using Lever Punch Circle.

Use three circles to create a scalloped edge on the mat fixing behind and fix the bottom circle as shown. Cut one circle in half and attach to the edges of the mat.

Step 4

Punch one of each scalloped circle. Ink the edges with brown ink pad and snip into the centre all round to create a ruffled flower. Attach together with the jewel brad and fix to mat with 3D foam pads. Create the stem with a fine liner pen. Punch a scalloped circle from green paper and cut to create a small heart shape for the leaf and attach with a 3D foam pad.

Punch a butterfly from green paper. Decorate with self adhesive pearls and attach as shown.

Step 5

On the inside section, create an aperture using the Everywhere Window Punch™. Ink the edges with brown ink pad. Decorate with punched circles. Attach the calendar using 3D Foam Pads.
