Step By Step

1. Take two A4 sheets of the ivy patterned Little Red Robin papers and tear each long ways into 4-5 strips. Arrange these onto a 12″ x 12″ sheet of white cardstock and stick them down, curling the edges of each one.
2. Stamp two of the Little Red Robin images onto white card and colour in using Artiste Brush Markers. Cut the images out and adhere them to the page in opposite corners.
3. Layer a filigree card and its red insert onto the middle of your page using foam pads.
4. Cut a piece of striped Little Red Robin paper 3.5″ x 5″ and tear some of the edges. Adhere this to the centre of your filigree card.
5. Arrange some blue bakers twine in the bottom left corner of your card panel, and scatter some punched circles around this area.
6. Add two small photos on top of your striped paper panel and place your title above to the right. Outline the foam letters with a blue pen.
7. Finish with spots of glitter glue on the stamped images, and clear adhesive gems around your twine.
