• Dab a white ink pad all over the daisy veneer shape and leave to dry. Once dry, brush the white side over with PVA glue.
• Cut out a 10.5 cm square panel of the kit's floral decoupage tissue paper and cover the flower with it. Use fine scissors or a craft knife to cut out the centre and around the petals. Use the brush to gently remove any creases or bubbles.
• Trim the floral garland card to a 11cm square and adhere the daisy to the central circle using double-stacked foam pads.Finish by fussy cutting a small floral motif and place in the flower centre as shown.
• Cut out a floral strip and attach to the bottom of the basket shape, snip around it so it fits to the bottom as shown.
• With the fold at the top, cut down the mint blank to 7cm x 11.5cm and affix the basket to the base. Place the round 'Lots of love' sentiment to the top left corner of the card.
• Carefully fussy cut around the pop-out large orange and pink, medium peach and small blue and yellow flower shapes, leaving little nicks where the petals meet the centre. Bend the petals forward and attach the centre of each flower to the card and basket as shown.
• Take the floral and peach blank and slice off the bottom section. Cover the front of the peach part of the blank with a 5.7 x 11.5 panel of blue and white patterned card.
• Colour the egg shape with a blue or aqua marker. Using foam pads, layer on a 3.5cm scalloped circle, the 2.5 circular motif and a fussy-cut mint flower. Attach the whole arrangement to the left of the card as shown, again using foam pads.
• Cut out the 'Happy spring' sentiment into a flag shape and fix to the card with double-sided tape, ensuring the left edge is tucked behind the egg.
• Colour the front of the heart-shaped petal flower with the dark pink ink pad and leave to dry.
• Take the floral piece of the blank you have worked with above and, with the fold at the top, attach a 1cm x 12cm green spotty strip at the bottom tucking the edges at the back of the card front.
• Affix the floral shape to the front on the card with double-sided tape. Use foam pads to secure the 'For you' sentiment to the top right of the card.
