Instructions	:	1. Cut a piece of glossy white cardstock to measure 5 ½”x 4 ¼”. 2. Place it on a piece of scrap paper, LIBERALLY squirt Sparkle N Sprinkle Brushable Glue on the glossy side and use your finger to spread it around over the entire surface of the cardstock. 3. Sprinkle some of one mica powder color (I used purple, salmon pink and yellow Pearl-Ex) on top of the glue and swirl it around in the glue. Do the same thing with another color in a different area, etc. **Hints: Wear gloves if you don’t want colored fingers You don’t have to cover the entire white area with color; some white can show. You can mix colors together, but don’t do it too much or it will have a “muddy” appearance. 4. After you are satisfied with the look you have achieved, place it on another piece of scrap paper and heat the entire area with a heat gun from top to bottom and side to side until bubbles start to form. Keep heating it until you have a lot of texture and bubbles. **If it does not bubble, you didn’t put on enough Sparkle N Sprinkle Brushable Glue. Now put it aside to dry overnight; this will be the background for the card. 5. Using the Staz-On jet black inkpad stamp SPRING DAISIES and …WELCOME SPRING.. on translucent vellum paper. Set them aside to dry. 6. Make a horizontal base card 5 ½”x 4 ¼” from peach cardstock. Also cut a layering piece slightly smaller than the front of the card from medium purple cardstock. Set them aside. 7. Color SPRING DAISIES with markers on the backside of the vellum. **Hint: The color will become more vibrant the more coats of color you apply.) 8. When the glue bubbly background is completely dry, cut it to size. (See the sample card for the approximate size.) Now attach it to the medium purple layering piece as shown using double stick adhesive tape. 9. Cut the SPRING DAISIES image and the …WELCOME SPRING…saying to size. (See the sample card for the approximate sizes.) Spray each with the Creative Imaginations Scrappers’ spray adhesive and attach them to the front of the bubbly background where you want them. 10. Set a purple eyelet in each corner of the image piece and on both ends of the saying piece. 11. Attach the entire piece to the front of the card with double stick adhesive tape.
