Look, it'll be so easy. All you need:

-Embellishments, like leaves and flowers

-3D clear glue with a glossy effect, like Glossy Accents

-Your favorite acrylic paint that matches your project's color palette and a fine-tipped brush. I want to add some golden touches so I'll use Honey gold acrylic paint.

-Optional: a soft, thick surface like a sponge and a round burin or something like that


I'm using all these diecuts printed on thick cardstock

This step is optional. First, make circular movements in the center of the flower.

Do the same with the rest of the embellishments. You can slightly fold the leaves in half to give them volume.
