Step 4Decorating Your Card

Decorating Your Card
To make the card look nice, now is the time to decorate the card itself before placing the final seeded paper on top. You can do this step whilst your creations from the previous step are drying, just move far enough away from the blowdryer so that it doesn't blow your decorations off of the card.

Originally I had thought that the whole card would be planted along with the seeded paper, so I used water based paints, felt and paper so it would all be biodegradable. However, after feedback from a few people, it seems that they would much rather keep the card itself, choosing to plant only the seeded flower. As such, I designed the card to look nice without the seeded flower on, with a space to glue it in for the final look.

This is what my card looked like after decorating it ready for the seeded flower to be placed on top.
