To create…
1 Cut a 5×6″ piece of pink cardstock, and stick a 1.5″-wide strip of patterned paper along the bottom. Adhere a length of ribbon to cover the join. Matt with two shades of blue cardstock.
2 Stamp the trainer, the mosquito, the fly, and a snail onto white cardstock using black ink, then emboss with clear powder. Paint with Cosmic Shimmer watercolours, and cut out.
3 Die-cut a scalloped square of pale blue cardstock. Then cut smaller squares of pink and marine blue cardstock to fit inside the middle. Mount onto your background piece, then add your stamped Jitterbug images using 3D foam.
4 Stamp the sentiment onto pale blue cardstock in black, and emboss. Layer with pink and marine blue cardstock, then mount in the top-left corner. Using a black marker, add dots around the scalloped square, and draw a rough border around the card.
5 Apply white crystal lacquer to the trainer toe, heel and circle, and allow to dry. Finish with a ribbon bow.
