How to make
Use a wide paint brush to wet one side of a piece of watercolour paper, scribble some ink onto a piece of acetate using green watercolour pens then spritz with water.
Lay the acetate ink side down onto the wet paper pressing down firmly, rub gently all over to transfer as much ink as possible. Lift up then set aside to dry.
Once dry trim the water coloured panel to fit slightly smaller than an 5 x 7” white card blank. Fix several strips of thin green cardstock to the front creating some stems. Hand-write a 'Thank You' sentiment onto a small scrap of cardstock then trim into a tag shape before gently inking around the edges with green ink and a sponge.
Cut a square of vellum approximately 7 x 6cm then use a corner punch to round off each corner, repeat this step using a piece of acetate then attach the two together in the top right corner ensuring the vellum is at the top. The vellum clings to the acetate helping it stay in place on the card.
Lay the jar shape on top of the stems and fix the jar with double sided tape where the tag will be so that the tape will be hidden. Attach the tag in position using 3D foam pads.
Arrange all the leaves and flowers fixing some flat and some with 3D foam pads for added interest, finish off by gluing a small twine bow to the top of the tag.
