This was such a fun card to make, the back ground reminds me of the strings of beads that many houses in the 70’s here in Australia had hanging in the doorways.
I used one of the dies from the bundle to create this fun retro feel card.

- Trim each set of strips into two lengths

- Adhere the strips to card front -Basic Black & trim excess length. You can add adhesive sheets to the back of the Strips before die cutting or use dots of multi-purpose glue to adhere down.

- Add a dimensional to the center of the flower behind the stamens & attach to the sentiment square.

- You can add extra mini dimensionals cut in half under the thicker embossed lines of the flower. I added these after flowers and leaves were attached.
- Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots
- Add the gold Brushed Metallic Dots on the dot on the card front (see picture below)

** When using vellum try to hide your adhesive behind elements E.G. behind embossing (in this case).
