Australian Warratah Stamp Card Card Size - 10.5 cm x 14.8 cm (1/4 of an A4 Sheet)

1.  All the elements prepared and ready for assembly. The Firefly cardstock was trimmed, embossed with the Gumnut embossing folder before the edges where inked and distressed. The other papers were trimmed to size, inked with Pale Brown and distressed.  The stamp was stamped with Pale Brown ink and painted with pink and green inks listed below.  The Die-cuts were all cut out and inked randomly with a touch of Cappuccino ink.

2. Add double-sided tape to the backs of all cardboard and paper pieces

3. I used the Pearlescent inks as highlights on the tips of the petals and down the centre of the leaves.  Around the outside of the warratah flower I smudged the Platinum white to try to give a bit of depth to the image.

4. Adding cardboard as backing on the mats gives you plenty of space to add trimmings of lace, muslin and foliage.,

5. I offset the 2 dragonfly die-cuts to make it appear 3D.  I added a hint of lace between the layers at the bottom, and a touch of muslin between the layers at the top. The adhesive pearls on the dragonfly and at the right of the stamp just felt right to put there.  The string was wrapped around all the mats, a bow was tied then it was all  adhered to the card front.
