You’re an inspiration - a colourful card of encouragement

by Nicky Author

1

Use the octagon panel die in an embossing sandwich in the die-cutting machine, making a strong debossed imprint in white cardstock but not cutting through it. Trim to a 12.5cm square.

2

Scribble different Aqua Flow markers onto a glass mat and spritz each one with water. Pick up and ‘smoosh’ the ink onto the debossed panel, wiping the acetate between colours and also allowing drying time.

3

Repeat on nine small squares of cardstock, but creating stronger layers of colour. Once completely dry, stamp different octagons on each one using VersaMark ink and white heat-emboss each one. Cut out and arrange on the panel, using 3D foam pads.

4

Affix the panel onto a square of white cardstock for firmness, then to the card blank using 3D foam pads.

5

Smoosh ink onto spare cardstock, stamp a sentiment and trim into separate words. Affix across the geometric design using 3D foam pads to finish.
