Follow Your Dreams Card
Use a sponge to ink all the edges of your card, including the inner fold line, then place your card with the outer fold on the left. Cut a 4 3/4”x6 1/4” blue floral paper, ink the edges and place on your card.
Following the manufacturer’s directions, use the die-cutting machine and cutting dies to create a woven lattice die-cut and a set of swirl die-cuts from white cardstock. Place a row of the lattice die-cut squares on the lower edge of the blue floral, on the card. Mask off areas around the die-cut with sticky notes. Use a sponge to ink over the die-cut, concentrating the ink around the edges. Continue the pattern across the bottom of the card.
Use a sponge to ink the large swirl die-cut randomly, tie a bow around it, foam tape to the card and place dazzles as shown. Create a 1 1/2” and a 3 1/4” flower die-cut from the silver foil. Create a 1 1/2” and a 2 1/4” flower die-cut from white, but place purple foil between the cutting dies and your cardstock. (The purple foil flowers can be saved for some other project, but it leaves tiny embossed foil “embellishments” on the cardstock.) Ink the edges of the large white flower, and ink the center of the small white flower. Curl the edges of the die-cut flowers with a pencil, or your finger, and foam tape on top of each other, as shown. Cut the center out of the small white flower, foam tape to the center of the larger flower and place a Dazzle on it.
Ink a 1 1/8”x3/8” white, mat on silver with a 1/16” border, place “dreams” Dazzles™ on it and foam tape to card. Place “follow your” Dazzles™ and other Dazzles™ as shown.
For the inside: Place a row of the lattice die-cut squares on the center of your card. Mask off areas around the die-cut with sticky notes. Use a sponge to ink over the die-cut, concentrating the ink around the edges. Continue the pattern across the center of the card.
Place “Be yourself” Dazzles™ on center of inked image. Use a sponge to ink the small swirl die-cut randomly. Tie a knot of ribbon on it and foam tape as shown.
