Instructions:

1. Fold a piece of white card in half for your card base.

2. Select three types of patterned paper and use the stitched arch die to cut an arch piece out from each piece of paper.

3. Use essential die 5 to cut your sentiment from the sentiment page.

4. Select the momma bear, bee, jug of lemonade and three pop plants from the kit, and stamp using memento tuxedo black ink on white card ready to colour in with copic sketch markers. Tip: Stamp out the character a couple of times just in case you’re not happy with its colours.

5. Once you have finished colouring, die cut your coloured items using the matching die set.

6. Place double sided sticky tape on the back of the arches. Aligning with the right side of the card, stick the three arches to the card base leaving a larger gap between the bottom two to allow room for the sentiment. Designer trick: using a black felt tip pen, run around the edge of the sentiment to cover the white cut edge.

7. Place foam mounts on the back of the coloured items and sentiment and attach to the card base, as shown in the photo.

8. Then use the white ball pen to add highlights to the bear, plants and lemonade jug.

9. Finish off by scattering some yellow sequins on the card.
