How to:Flower card made with X Cut dies

This is a very quick and easy flower card.

• Cut out several sizes and layers of your chosen material  ( I used Baking Parchment!) with X Cut flower die
• stamp over each layer. I lightly stamped with Papermania Urban stamps ( music)
• layer up the flower. Make a hole in the middle of all the layers and attach a brad to hold layers together
• Brush over ends of petals with Distress inks with tool applicator
• Emboss a piece of card ( cut to fit card blank) and emboss through an embossing folder. Distress ink it
• Cut leaves from your chosen die , colour it with distress inks and stamp over ( music )

 And that is how easy it is


We hope you will have a go. Email us with your card and we will put it on the blog
