Instructions:

The first step is creating the embellishments for your card. For this, take small amounts of red clay and roll it to about 1/8" thick.   Use the Dress cutters to cut assorted sized dresses from the rolled clay.  Let dry.

Cut dresses

Add details

Take one of the Assembly Handles and insert the Fine Point from the Professional Tool Kit. With this fine point, you can make the pin holes around of the borders of the dress.

Using white clay and the Ultimate Clay Extruder™and round disc #5, extrude clay and let dry slightly, then cut and gently flatten to create the buttons to decorate your dresses.

You can make the holes of the button using the Fine Point. If your clay is fresh you don't need any additional adhesive to attach the buttons.  If the clay has dried, use a clear drying adhesive such as Beacon's 3-in-1.

Add buttons & details

To create the clouds, roll a very thin sheet of white clay.  Let it dry and then die cut with clouds dies and the Sizzix® Big Shot™. 

Give color to the clouds using Distress Ink applied with a blending tool.

Die cut clouds from dry clay

Add ink to shade

Create the base of your card and a second layer using Crumb Cake and Whisper White card stock. Stamp your sentiment over the whisper white layer using VersaFine Onix. Choose the clay dresses and clouds you want to use to highlight on your card front and mount the embellishments using Beacon™ 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue.
