Dreams



Dream
Equipment Required.

A4 sheet white card 260 gsm x 2
A4 sheet black card 260gsm
8 x 8 scalloped card 
Tattered Lace Rose Corner Die
Tattered Lace Sweetness Wrap Die
Grand Callibur or any die cutting machine
Lace Ribbon
Double sided tape
Glue 
Craft Knife & scissors
Spectrum Noir sparkle clear pen.

The easiest way of making this card is to start by cutting and embossing all the embellishments using the Grand Callibur. Cut two of the Rose lace corners and 3 of the Sweetness die. We only need the main part of the die once so place the other two pieces in your crafty stash and save for another day, but take out the other two dream words as we are going to use them. I never know where these cards are going to take me until I start playing and I happened noticed that in the rubbish pile were little flowers and heart shapes so i decided to collect them up and use on the card, which meant I needed more so I cut out the dream die another 5 times ( I must of been mad !) The Next step is to cut the black card into a square  slightly smaller than than 8 x 8 scalloped card base but don't stick it down yet! Take the main part of the Sweetness die and position and glue down onto the black card thread  the lace ribbon either end where it looks like a buckle doubling it back on it self and I placed a bit of double sided tape to keep the ribbon together and then fold the ribbon around the edge of the card with double sided tape. Put double sided tape all around the back of the black card and stick down to the scalloped base. Glue down the three dreams diagonally across the card remembering to place on in the middle of the heart. Glue the two Rose corners one in the bottom left hand corner the other in the top right hand corner. Place and glue the flowers and hearts randomly around the card. Finally take the Spectrum Nior sparkling pen and colour in the the three dream words and the hearts and flowers. You card is now complete. 

TOP TIP ALERT:  When gluing buy some spray glue as the Die are very fine and delicate I used Collall and a cotton bud but it still made a little bit of a mess.

Hope you enjoy making this card as much as i did!
