How to Make

1. Stamp the Milton with Flowers image onto white card with black ink.
2. Use Brick Beige E31 to colour in Milton all over. Use the Chamois E35 pen around the edges. Blend in using the Brick Beige pen, going over the boundary between the two colours to blend them together. Go over it again if needed, to blend a bit more.
3. Use Milky White for his nose, adding more colour at the bottom to create shading.
4. Use Pale Pink and Rose Red for the insides of the ear, using the same blending technique. Use Frost Blue B00 for the flower wrapping and the envelope.
5. Colour the pink flowers using Sugared Almond Pink and Rose Red, again blending them using the lighter Sugared Almond pen on top. Use a mixture of greens for the flower leaves and grass.
6. Layer patterned paper from the Polka Dot stack onto brown card. Add a
7. punched border. Wrap with pink ribbon and layer onto a white base card.
8. Edge the image with Pear Green (chisel tip) and also with green chalk. Layer the image onto brown card and attach with sticky fixers.
9. Layer up a greeting embellishment, using the Blossom dies, a ribbon bow and a flower. Use the ‘for you’ greeting from the Everyday Greetings set on the final layer. Attach as shown, to finish.
