You will need:

Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste Stellar Aqua CSLPSAQUA
Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste Stellar Lemon CSLPSLEMON

Step by step:

---

Step 1
Spread the Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste in Stellar Aqua on a piece of Coconut White card a bit bigger than your die.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2
Spread it out evenly with a knife, palette knife or old gift card. This will create some lovely striped texture where the paste is a bit thicker and thinner. You can apply it a bit thicker if you want an even layer. Let the paste dry really well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3
Do the same with Luna Paste Stellar Lemon and Stellar Jade. Let these cards dry too. In the meantime you can cut and fold 3 cards out of Coconut White cardstock, sized 11.5 x 15.8 centimetres.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4
Once dry cut the coloured cards with the Solar Circles die. You can cut the paper before colouring with the paste, but I found it’s easier to colour when it’s in one piece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5
Glue the Solar Circle background onto the card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6
Use the circles that came out of the die for decoration. Use the Lemon and Jade on the Aqua coloured card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7
Stamp the sentiment with black ink on white card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8
Apply foam tape on the back of the sentiment for extra dimension.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9
Put the sentiment in place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 10
Divide the circles in different sizes to the card and glue the circles to the card with acrylic glue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 11
With the leftover parts you can make 2 more cards, so it’s three for one. You can also use the Cosmic Shimmer Chalk Cloud Blending Ink to stamp the message in different colours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a bonus example here are the 3 cards with the messages stamped in Princess Pink, Blue Lagoon & Vanilla Twist.
