- Apply two colors of Alcohol Inks to the Opaque White Craft Plastic Film with the felt pad adding a little alcohol blending solution to lighten and blend and leave to dry, it doesn’t take long.
- Dust the Opaque White Craft Plastic Film with the antistatic bag and using the Versa Fine Clair ink pad, stamp the image slightly off center onto it.
- Apply the clear embossing powder, remove the excess and heat set, don’t overheat or the plastic sheet will distort.
- Paint the flower on the film with the alcohol blending solution and carefully wipe with kitchen roll to remove the ink. The raised area of the embossed image will help to keep the solution contained.
- Using Grafix Clear Shrink Film, stamp a bee design on the film and follow the instructions on the package to shrink down to use as an embellishment.
- Die cut the Grafix Silver Shrink Film with a sentiment of your choice, then follow the package instructions for shrinking.
- To complete the card – Edge the panel with black ink and adhere to the front of the card blank with Grafix Artist-tac and add the shrunk emblements with Glossy Accents glue.
