Navy Blue 3D Glitter Foam Flower Design

You Will Need:

• A plain white card (C6)
• A small piece of white foam (I used the packing foam sheet that my printer came in!)
• Holographic micro glitter
• Navy blue mulberry paper
• Some royal blue and metallic silver seed beads
• Spray on glue (I used 3M's Spray Mount)
• One clear flower bead
• PVC glue
• Scissors or a craft knife
• Felt tip pen

Here's How To Make This Greeting Card / Handmade Card Making Idea

1. It's glitter time! Spray glue your piece of white packing foam. Then liberally cover it with the holographic micro glitter and shake off the excess.
2. Draw and cut out: On the reverse side, draw eight leaf shapes (approx. 2cm in length) onto your piece of foam, and cut them out carefully.
3. Tear: Carefully tear a small square from your navy blue mulberry paper (approx 4cm sides).
4. Glue it! Draw a large asterix shape onto the mulberry paper, with your PVC glue, and position your foam petals so that they are arranged in a flower shape. The petals should overlap in the center.
5. Bead it! Use your PVC glue to stick the clear flower bead into the center of your petal arrangement. Leave to dry.
6. Spray glue: Spray glue the mulberry paper and glue it onto the center of your card.
7. Bead it some more! Use your PVC glue to stick 3 royal blue / metallic silver seed beads around each of the four corners of the rectangle of navy blue mulberry paper. Leave to dry.

And voila! The greeting card making idea comes to life!
