Making up the design

The CREETING I am a great believer in mixing and matching crafts and in this case the greeting has been done using a brass stencil and the technique known as embossing on paper. You can omit the greeting ifyou like, ór pcrhaps your.handwriting is better than minę and you can write it on. The other alternative is to tracę the greeting, tum the paper over and scribble on the back and thęn'place'it .on yourcard and tracę over it again - this way you can see,,the outline of the greeting and perhaps use a gold pen to write ovcr it. Whichever way you choose, the greeting has to be put on befbre the guilling. . '

The quilled design Make up eaćh flower completely on the quilling board, then the butterfly without its antennae. Arrange these on to your card and then stick them down by rolling the cocktail stick into the glue and then over the bacie of each piece. Glue down the antennae and glue the leaves into place.
