• Take a card blank with a floral wreath design in the centre and trim the back section from the card. Use a small aperture die to remove a section centrally from the front part of a blue card blank, using a die-cutting machine. Put the cut-out shape to one side for later use.
• Use a bigger aperture die to remove a section from the middle of the printed wreath section. Mount the printed section onto the blue card blank so the smaller aperture lines up, leaving a 2mm border on the outside.
• Take the small aperture cut-out and mount it centrally inside the card blank so it shows through the window at the front of the card. Use a flower punch to create multiple flowers and use a large ball tool to press each centre and make the flowers 3D.
• Glue a sequin to the centre of each flower and mount them to parts of the wreath design, two opposite corners of the card, and inside the card through the aperture.
