Instructions:

 

Add 100mm double sided tape to the back of your mirror board.

 

Cut your background die from the mirror board making sure you cut into the mirror side

 

Carefully peel from backing and adhere to acetate sheet

 

Cut off excess acetate and add foam tape to the frame edge. I have used the new 3mm Foam tape as it fits perfectly. Use a double layer for more 'shake' from your card

 

Die cut assorted snowflakes from white glitter card for your shaker

 

Prepare your backing for your shaker card - trim to 11cm x 13.8cm. I have used black to highlight the words in the die

 

Run around the inside edges of your foam tape with powder tool to stop sequins sticking

 

Add snowflakes and assorted sequins to the middle of your backing card, peel backing off foam and stick your window to the backing card to create your shaker

 

Layer and adhere your papers and shaker to your card base. I chose a card size of 14 x 16.5 cm to fit the die and have a nice border.

Kaisercraft Card Stock - Aqua green cardstock (card base) - Lime green cardstock - Deep Teal dot cardstock

 

 

Instructions:

Start by creating a C6 card out of Aqua cardstock

Die cut a Stitched rectangle in Lime green and another smaller sized stitched rectangle in deep teal

Mount these two rectangles with foam tape under the lime green and double sided tape under the deep teal.

Working on the white card stock, Use a stencil, a palette knife and the Cadence cream foil bond. Stencil the foil bond through the stencil cleanly and put aside until it has dried enough that the cream colour looks clear

Place the Heat Activated Foil onto the foil bond, once adequately dry. Once the gold has transferred you now have a patterned gold paper

Die cut the patterned gold card that you have made with the large stacked banner

Mount this banner shape with foam tape at the top right hand side of the card

 

Take the wooden butterfly embellishments. One large and one smaller. Colour with posca pens or acrylic paint. Aqua Green at the bottom and a small touch of light green at the top. Whilst still wet add Ultrafine green glitter to the bottom of the butterflies. The acrylic paint should adhere the glitter.

Attach both butterflies to the gold section of the card and also adhere the title to the bottom
