Tools used for this card are the following:

Seam Binding or a coloured ribbon of your choice.

Perfect Medium – Item Number:  PI- PPMED.

Micro Powder Pale Gold - Item Number:  CE-CSMPPALGOLD.

This card is an A5 floating card we used patterned paper to get the boarder.  We then scored along the top of the A5 card and glued only down to the score line.  Then we removed the middle section of the card and replaced it with acetate. The trees where stamped with perfect medium and then brushed over with pale gold micro beads to give a glamorous feel to this card.  We then attached these to the acetate.  To make the tag, stamp with perfect medium and then brush over with the pale gold micro beads.    

We hope you all enjoyed our workshop.

Happy Crafting
