Stamp the Cameo stamp onto gold foil card with embossing ink. Whilst the ink is still wet, sprinkle gold embossing powder over the stamped area, making sure that the stamped image is coated with the powder. Shake off the powder and put it back in the packaging. Heat the powder on the gold card using a heat gun until it melts and turns glossy. Leave it to cool.
Once cool, die cut the outer and inner of the gold piece to create the cameo frame.
Take a piece of acetate, larger than the cameo and using a permanent ink, stamp a sentiment into the centre. Stick it to the back of the gold cameo. Trim off any acetate if necessary.
Make a loop with the pearl trim and stick to the top of the MDF with silicone glue or a glue gun.
Leave until the glue has hardened.
Add 2mm foam tape to the top (just underneath the pearl loop), bottom, and the centre right and left of
the MDF cameo. Stick the gold frame to the MDF cameo using the foam tape.
Stamp six Sunflowers on Kraft card and use the same technique from Step 1 for a golden effect.
Die cut the flowers, curl the petals and place them into three couples. Push a hole into the centre of the flowers and secure with silicone glue. Push a small group of stamen into the centre. Leave to cool.
To give the frame a sparkly finish, draw lines on the diagonal onto acetate and sprinkle with crystal glitter. Leave to dry.
Cut the sparkly acetate to fit behind the cameo and attach to the back.
Add little groups of stamens if preferred.
