Step 1
Trim 2 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.
Fix seam binding ribbon and decorate with a double bow.
Step 3
Trim white paper to 2" x 4" and green slightly smaller. Fix together using double sided tape. Punch circles from brown paper using Lever Punch Circle.
Use 3 circles to create a scalloped edge on the mat fixing behind and fix the bottom circle as shown. Cut one circle in half and fix 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. Fix 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 fix with a 3D foam pad.
Punch a butterfly from green paper. Decorate with self adhesive pearls and fix as shown.
