How To Make Your Cards

Start by cutting the papers to a size you feel is appropriate. Arrange the papers on the card until you are happy with the layout. Then stick them to in place using double sided tape.

Stick one complete peel off onto the acetate. From the second image take some of the main parts of the image. For example, for a rose design take just the flower. Stick them onto acetate.

When cutting components on peel-off sheets just trim through connecting lines, not the wax paper underneath. You can then lift off the pieces required and the rest stays on the sheet for any other use.

Colouring can be done with glass paints or by using permanent ink pens.

Pen work should be done from the back. Start with the lightest colour, let it dry and then go over with the same pen to produce a deeper colour on shaded areas. If your first colour layer starts to come away with the second, apply this to the front but be careful not to get any on the silver lines.

For best results on the leaves, colour them first in yellow and then in green. Leave your designs to dry overnight.

Carefully stick the adhesive sheet to the back of the acetate. It is best to peel off just a small corner of the backing from the sheet and line the acetate up with the straight edges. Slowly peel the rest of the backing away, ensuring that the adhesive sticks to the acetate evenly, without any air bubbles.

Remove the backing from the adhesive sheet and stick the holographic paper to the back of the acetate.

Carefully cut out all the pieces. Non stick scissors are ideal for this.

Fix your peel off design to a prepared layered card with double sided adhesive pads.

Stick each subsequent layer onto the base image using 3D foam pads.
