Helpful Hints


To create the techniques featured in this artwork, follow the helpful hints outlined below. Then use the pattern (Make It from Your Heart®: Pattern 15—Left) found on page 34 of our how-to publication Make It from Your Heart® for inspiration.
  • Make your own glitter paper by creating a small puddle of glitter gel on a scrap piece of paper and then tap your sponge in the puddle. Spread the sponge over your paper as much or as little as desired. Set aside to dry.
  • Create your own subtle pattern paper by randomly stamping the flower in Champagne ink on Champagne cardstock.
  • Embellish with stamped accents, paper accents, and accessories, adding dimension with 3-D foam tape as desired.
