Step one
The first step is to take your paper and fold it in half longways
Next, open it back up and put in to one side.
Step TWO
The surface of the second A5 watercolour paper needs to be painted with purple Deriven watercolour paint. Wet the paper first to create an abstract design. Once it is dried, paint the other side of the paper - you need to do this as it is a popup card and you will see both sides when it is opened.
Step three

The next step is to trace out the petal shape using a lead pencil. Make sure that you use a pencil as it will save you time and effort later on. Once you have traced out the petals, cut them out carefully.
Step five
To make a paper petal, start by folding it in half and then folding it again so that the tip bends inwards. use the photo as a reference
step six
Grab your premade card from step one and measure the halfway point in the fold and make a mark with your pencil where you want the flower to be placed
Step seven
Polymer gloss varnish is a water-based, varnish that can be used in a variety of ways. Use the varnish as an adhesive for your petals, simply paint the folded tip of the petal and glue it to the halfway pencil mark. Repeat these steps on the next petal.
Step eight
Once you have all the petals glued to the card, trim off any excess paper. carefully make sure that the petals are spread out evenly and not overlapping too much.
