Instructions
-
Cut the white Bazzill
into size 17.5cm x the width of the Bazzill (30cm). Fold into three
equally sized pieces (width 10cm each).
-
Fold the remaining
piece of Bazzill in the same way (three folds the same width as the
others).
-
Glue the piece onto the
last piece of the taller (first) Bazzill. Glue it to the plain side:
glue the left hand pane on the smaller card onto the right-hand pane
of the taller piece with the edge against the spine of the last
fold. You now have a five-fold piece of Bazzill. The width should be
50cm. See the sketch below for guidance. Lilac folds is the first
taller piece, yellow is the second. Note how the second piece
overlaps the first.
-
Draw an undulating line
from the top left-hand side down to the right-hand side of the last
smaller panel - see pictures for guidance. Cut along the line you
just drew. Sand down any rough edges then ink both sides of the top
edge with pink ink. On the textured side use a paintbrush to
draw the ink further in from the edge.
-
Using an ink sweeper
"sweep" acrylic paint to entirely cover the plain side of the
Bazzill. Leave to dry.
-
Brush the edges of the
painted side with the pink ink.
-
Cover the undulating
line with Berry Sweet Floral Die-Cuts. Ensure that you do not cover
the folds. Leave the florals poking above the edges on every other
edge but you must ensure that the die-cuts are in line with the edge
on the second and third panel. We do not want to see
them poking out when we fold the card (see picture of front of card
for guidance).
-
Add some Berry Sweet
rub-ons here and there where you need to cover a space
-
Add some more Berry
Sweet Die-Cuts to two of the panels. Add rub-ons to the others. You
can leave one blank for your own written message.

paper panels to fit onto the front of each panel. Leave a margin all
