Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month - Sept. 2013 My Secret Garden. This is what is included in this kit, as well as some extra instructions to explain how I used these items to create my Secret Garden Artist Trading Card. There is one gold and glitter embossed stamped gate on cream paper (cut this gate out leaving about a 1/4 inch extra on the left side of the gate. Then score right at the edge of the gold gate so that your gate can open. I glued a tiny strip of paper over the 1/4 in. extra paper. Then use the 2 mini brads included in this kit to create your hinge as seen in the photo of my completed ATC. I then glued the green gem to create my gate handle. 1 - 3 in. x 4 in. coordinating Secret Garden Coming Up Roses paper (I used this to cover the back side of my gate; great flowers to use too), 1 - 3 in. x 4 in. coordinating Secret Garden Posy Patch paper (this has lots of flowers and things to cut out and use), 1 - 2 in. x 4 in. coordinating Secret Garden Pretty Primrose paper (this has great flowers to cut out and use on your gate), a collage image of a sweet little girl in her flower garden that matches the paper (this image is included to use on your card as the image inside of the gate), and a My Secret Garden printed phrase. There are 3mm color flatback pearls to use to embellish some of the flower centers, 1 - little brass garden fairy charm (I cut the loop off and glued her on the top of one of the flowers in the girl's garden), 1 - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" Secret Garden April Showers ATC card, a black die cut butterfly (glue the body in the center and bent the wings to create a 3-D moving butterfly), and lastly an ATC clear sleeve.
