Punches: banner pick a punch

Stampin' Up Blends: highland heather

Stamp Sets: celebrating you, rays of light

Accessories: bakers twine, white embossing powder

1. base card 14.8 x 21 scored at 10.5 
2. stamp the ray of lights onto a piece of white card stock and trim to 9.5 x 13.8
3. die cut the flowers in white 
4. using a strip of highland heather 2 x 9 stamp the sentiment in versaMark and heat emboss
5. use the punch to create the tails
6. colour the bakers twine using the stampin' blends and create a bow.
7. adhere the first layer using wet glue, arrange the flowers and sentiment then attach with dimensionals
8. attach the bow using a glue dot.
