Use a glue stick to glue the vellum onto the front of the marbled paper. Cut a fancy edge on to the backing you have just made. You can use a paper trimmer or fancy scissors. Use double sided tape to stick the backing to the front of the card.

Take three flowers and tape them together with clear tape. Take a piece of cellophane. Practice rolling it into a cone. When you're happy with the cone, pop your flowers inside. Push the wire stems of the flowers right down to the bottom of the cone. Bend them and the bottom of the cellophane cone, backwards and give it a little twist to hold everything in place. Don't worry if it falls apart, just start over until you are happy with your flower arranging.

Use glue or double sided tape to attach your bunch of flowers to your card. You can embellish them with the bows included in your kit.

Finish off your card with a peel off greeting.
