Apply Kool Tak™ Punch Adhesive to the cream card stock. Die cut three flowers and one butterfly from the Jewel Flowers and Flourishes. Remove the release papers and apply silver, blue and green foil to the flower and butterfly fronts.Kool Tak MDC dies in place CWindham

Note: I wanted a sort of rough look to these flowers, so I didn’t cover them entirely. If you want solid coverage, just reapply the foils until the surface is covered.

Punch circles from a strip of the remaining Kool Tak™ Punch Adhesive-covered card stock with the circle punches. Remove the release paper and cover the largest with microbeads, the second two largest with blue Kool Tak™ Sparkles Glitter and the smallest with silver Kool Tak™ Sparkles Glitter. Attach the circles to the flowers with Kool Tak™ 3D PVA Glue. Attach all flowers to the card front with Kool Tak™ Roll Foam.
