World Card Day with American Craft

I used papers from American Backyard Collection to do my A2 card for World Card Day. Along with a Backyard Flair embellishment and a sticker from the Remarks Sticker Book. I stamped my sentiment from Hero Arts Friends Stamp. I then hand cut around the sentiment to form the leaf for my flower and added the sticker caterpillar to the top of the leaf. I used my zig marker to mark the stitch lines arund the leaf.
Here is a short tutorial on the flower. Punch one scallop circle from each of these Marvy punches. Take your scissors and cut toward the center on each circle. Once you have done this to all of the circles take your Glimmer Glaze and paint over the top of each circle. Allow them to dry and then stack and glue them to each other and place your embellishment in the center of the flower. You can then glue the flower to the card and bend the petals up a bit to give them dimension.

  3. Gimmer Glaze is from Tattered Angels, the one I used is called Fine Glitter Paint. It has its own paint brush so I just painted it on my project and that is what gave it a shine and sparkle.Comes in several colors. I love it.
