DOCRAFTS CREATIVITY MAGAZINE ISSUE 33 MAY/JUN 2012
This issue we feature a delightful collection from Lucy Cromwell by Papermania, off ering all the cups of tea, cake and bunting you will need to set the scene. And just to prove how versatile this range is, you can also find it in our ‘Wedding Special’ feature and used to make a Father’s Day card in our ‘make a Father’s Day card’ challenge! Our ‘Wedding Special’ feature also includes jewellery for the bride and a charming idea to hold onto those precious memories of the big day!

Step by Step
1
Cut down a white card to create 10.5cm square blank. Matt on top brown card (10cm square) and cream card (9.5cm square) leaving narrow borders.
2
Create the main design by stamping the elephant clear stamp on white cardstock. Add colour by using the watercolouring technique with Papermania markers. Soften the edges and create depth by inking round the edge on the panel with first Prussian Blue fluid chalk and then Creamy Brown fluid chalk. Layer on to a scalloped edged piece of dark blue textured card stock. Punch holes into the scallops using a cropadile before matting onto a final piece of brown card 6cm x 8.5cm. Attach to the left hand side of the card.
3
Punch a flower from white card stock and ink the edges as described in step 2. Attach first to dark blue textured cardstock and trim to leave a border. Repeat on top of brown cardstock. Attach velour number and letter for the greeting. Place as shown with 3d foam tape
4
Complete the project with a vertical line of velour hearts.
