How to Make
1.
Begin by cutting a 16.5cmx12cm rectangle out of
a sheet of Dovecraft Kraft card.
2.
Replace the blade in the Trimcraft 3 in 1 paper
trimmer with the scalloped plate. Trim along each edge to achieve a crimped
effect.
3.
Choose your colours from the Dovecraft Pearl
Effects bright collection. Take your first colour and squeeze a sizeable amount
out onto your kraft card.
4.
Take the nylon brush from the First Edition brush
set and begin brushing your first colour in short, gentle sweeps.
5.
While your glue is still wet, squeeze your next
Pearl Effects colour onto your card and follow the same brushing technique. Vary
your design by spreading out as well as overlapping the different coloured glue on your card.
This will allow you to create interesting shades of colour across your design!
TIP: Make sure to not over brush your card
as this will lose the textured effect that the bristles have given you.
6.
Build up the colour then leave to dry, repeat
the same steps to build up texture then leave to dry again .
7.
Take the ‘It’s your Birthday!’ sentiment from
the First Edition Birthday die set and die cut it onto a cream sheet of First
Edition Textured Cardstock.
8.
Adhere your sentiment near the top of your kraft
card and glue your design to the centre of your Dovecraft Kraft card blank to
allow space for a border.
The Dovecraft Pearl Effect glues are sure
to leave a brilliant shine on your makes and with the help of the First Edition
