Instructions:

1. Cut your Bisous paper to the size of your card. Adhere the paper to the front of your card.

2. Cut out your stamp design, then cut a square of metallic blue slightly larger than the stamp. Cut a square of Treasure Tape that is smaller than your blue metallic square and larger than your stamp design. Peel off the white liner and center it on the blue square. Peel back the red liner and center the stamp on it. Use your Dimensional Threads to create a border on the tape around the stamp. Adhere the blue square to the top right corner of your card.

3. Use your paper edgers to cut two wavy shapes out of the parchment and pebble textured paper. Peel back the white liner on one sheet of tape. Place your parchment and pebble shapes on the tape, print side up. Replace liner and cut out around your shapes, leaving a small tape border around the edge. Remove the white liner from your parchment shape. Peel back the white liner from your second sheet of tape, and place your parchment shape paper-side-down on it. Replace the liner and cut out the shape again.

4. Remove the red liner from the back of your parchment paper. Center it according to your preference on your pebble paper. Peel the red liner from the back of your pebble paper, and mount both on your card.  

5. Peel back the red liner from your parchment paper, and use your threads to outline both shapes. Use one of the braids to create a design across the parchment paper shape.

6. Place your card in a shallow tray or Ziploc bag, and pour beadlets over the exposed tape areas. Swirl the beads with your fingers to cover fully. Tap to remove excess beadlets.
