Step by step..
1 Using the collage background technique below with squares and rectangles cut out of an old phone book, make a collage patchwork panel and cover it lightly with gesso or diluted white paint. Allow to dry.
2 Use spare paper to mask off one of the phone book shapes and add colour using PanPastels. Move the papers into a different shape and use a different PanPastel colour. Keep working until you have a patchwork of different colours.
3 Add ribbon then stick the patchwork panel to the card front. Cut a label from white cardstock, stamp a sentiment in the bottom-right corner and fix to the card front using silicone glue.
4 Die-cut several small blossoms from newspaper and colour with magenta and violet PanPastels. Add the button, scrunch the blossom and stick to the card front to finish.
