INSTRUCTIONS:Create a background as for the main card shown in the magazine but this time using a tall white panel and stamping butterflies instead of dragonflies and different wording. Tear a 20.5cm x 26cm (8” x 10¼”) sheet of frosted shrink plastic in half lengthways and then tear one of these halves into thirds and shrink each of these pieces as for the main card in the magazine. Stamp onto each of the pieces separately, using the leaves from one of the bird branches on two of the pieces and one of the flowers from the Inkadinkado set for the other piece. Decorate in the same way as for the main card.
A step-by-step tutorial for this technique is available in our March 2010 issue.
