Materials:

2 x A4 Kraft Card

Black soot distressing Ink

Stardust Goldust glitter

Equipment:

Blending Mat

Blending Tool

Quickie Glue Pen

Scissors

Trimmer

Double sided tape

Foam Pads/Silicone Glue

Score Board

Bone Folder

Instructions:

1. Using the kraft card, trim one down to 21cm x 21cm, and the other 24cm x 21cm.  On the second piece score a line done at the 21cm mark.  This will create a tab, which will enable you to join the 2 pieces together to create a large square card.

2. Cover the front of your card with your chosen backing paper, leaving a 3mil boarder.  Using a blending mat, blending tool and distress ink, rub ink around the edges to give a more vintage feel.

3. Using a contrasting backing paper, tear a section off and fix to the bottom left hand side using double sided tape or glue.

4. Cut out your topper and decoupage any layers up using foam pads.  Then fix your topper to the left hand side of your card.  

5. Cut out a ribbon strip and fix along the bottom of your card.

6. Attach your chosen sentiments and paper embellishments to the card as shown using foam pads.

7. Finish off the card by adding touches of stardust glitter using a quickie glue pen.
