• These dies are very detailed, so you might benefit from the help of a Tattered Lace Cut Tidy to keep track of your tiny die- cut pieces. I find it makes
a real difference!
SKILL LEVEL 33
• Always make sure you clean your dies properly before cutting. These dies have lots of small details,
and if they are not clear, you may not get a perfect cut. It’s worth investing in a special die brush
to speed up the clearing process.

Adhere the purple oval centrally onto the card front

background. Add Quickie glue to some of the negative spaces, then sprinkle with iridescent glitter. 6Matt the owls onto the ovals using 3D foam pads.
Position one die-cut flourish in the top-right corner
of the card front. Position another in the bottom-left of the purple oval. Lay out the flowers, then adhere them 7around the owl using a glue gun.
Snip the third die-cut flourish into smaller
pieces, and adhere these around the flowers in the bottom-left corner to extend the design. To finish, add gems to the open corners and in the centre of the owl’s eyes.
