To create…
1 Cover the lower third of the card blank with Marigold paper, and the upper third with Gracie. Cover the join with ribbon, all attached with double-sided tape.
2 Stamp ‘Friends Always’ in black and cover with embossing powder, shaking off the excess. Stamp the frame over the sentiment, again covering with embossing powder. Heat to set.
3 Trim around the frame and use double-sided tape to mount it on to Gracie paper. Trim leaving a narrow border, inking the edges with Amber. Attach to the lower right part of the card with double-sided tape.
4 Stamp a Bee border on the top right edge of the card and the Buzzing Bee on the top left edge with Black Staz-On. Stamp and emboss the Dragonfly three times on Marigold. Cut out all the wings and two bodies and glue together in layers.
5 Punch two circles from white card and glue together. Sponge the top circle with Amber and edge with black ink. Punch two scalloped circles from Gracie and glue together. Attach the sponged circle as shown.
6 Stamp the dragonfly on to scalloped circle and glue the cut out pieces on top. Attach to the circle with 3D foam pads. Decorate with gemstones and Stickles, squeezed on to an acrylic block or kitchen foil and applied in a thin layer with a damp paint brush.
