Natural Connection
“I just love nature and wildlife! These dies are from my new Flora and Fauna
range, which also features a stag and a fox. The gorgeous creatures bring
a modern feel to your makes, while also having an elegant lace-like
element for you to decorate.”

a selection of leaves, sprigs and stamens
from silver foil card.
Using the background stencil, embossing mat and die cutting
machine, dry emboss the square of mauve satin card. The pressure of the machine will push the detail of the stencil into the card to create an embossed finish. Once done, attach onto the purple square and fix onto the front of the silver 4card blank.
Cut the silver pearl oval into two
pieces, straight down the centre point. Trim off the leftover border pieces so it is uniform on both sides. Attach this to the back of the purple oval, leaving a silver border at either side. Attach to the front 5of the card blank with 3D foam pads.
Curl the petals of each flower using
the ball point embossing tool and embossing mat. Once each flower is curled, layer them up on top of each other as shown, and secure using a small amount of glue. Press each layer together with the ball point tool for three seconds to help them stay in place. Fix a stamen to the centre of each flower. Use a glue gun to position a gem in the centre of 6each flower.
Attach the rabbit onto the purple oval
mat using 3D foam pads, then arrange your flowers and foliage around the rabbit. Once you are happy with your layout, start to attach them onto the card front using a glue gun. Adhere a few gems in the corners of the card and one in the centre of the rabbit’s eye to finish.
