GENERAL METHOD


1 Fold 10, 140mm x 235mm panels of white card in half and
arrange half of them on your work surface in portrait-
orientation and the other half in landscape.
2 Cover each card front with reversed watercolour or reversed
mini fl owers paper 133mm x 113mm – tear them to size with
a ruler to get a slightly rough edge.

arrange them on the cards, referring to the photographs for
placement and layering the mid-sized ones on the alternating
colour paper, leaving 5mm borders.

it in separate bows and tape them in place, fold small pieces
into tabs or affi x some in a series of short fl at strips.
6 Decorate small silver washers with rhinestones and tape
them to the cards.

rhinestones over the papers.
