Cut two rectangles, a 15cm x 17cm from black card and a 14.8cm x 16.8cm from white card.
Use the Arrangement Banners die set to cut Banner 3 into the white rectangle. Stamp sentiments onto the banners and stick the white rectangle onto the card – be sure not to use any adhesive on the backs of the banners.
Use the 3D Decoupage dies to cut an assortment of flowers from their corresponding CD-ROM Charismas. Cut extra pieces to build up on the design and create decoupage.
Build your decoupage on the card front. Start by tucking some of the plants behind the banners that you cut into the white rectangle. Pull them forward gently so as not to break the bridges that hold the design in the paper. Stick any decoupage pieces you have cut onto your arrangement. Foam pads will help your decoupage achieve even more dimension!
