Step by Step

1. Trim green paper slightly smaller than a square card blank and ink the edges. Add a doodled gel pen border inside the perimeter. Adhere onto the card.

2. Trim butterfly paper smaller. Ink, doodle a border and add centrally.

3. Peel the button from the large pinwheel and put to one side. Add the pinwheel to the top of the card as shown.

4. Pop out the parenthesis shaped decoupage layer. Ink and distress the edges and add a doodled border.

5. Build up the rest of the decoupage layers using 3D foam pads and add the panel centrally as shown, using 3D foam pads at the bottom of the panel to bring it up to the layer of the pinwheel.

6. Layer a sentiment onto contrasting paper and add a border as before. Tuck into the decoupage layers.

7. Add the button as shown and finish with a butterfly circle embellishment to the top left.
