METHOD:
1. Cut the ghost from white card with the template or SVG file. Punch circles for eyes, then shade the cheeks with pink and add a mouth with a black fineliner

3. Blend purple, pink and orange inks over the panel. Start with purple at the top, blending into pink, then orange
4. Remove the mask carefully and spritz the inked panel with shimmer spray
5. Trim to 13cm square and die cut a wavy slider aperture towards the top. Set the piece to one side
6. Create a 13.5cm square white blank. Line up the inked panel on top and use the slot as a guide to attach the wavy slider piece with glue
7. Glue the ghost to black card and trim, leaving a narrow border. Attach a slider disc and back with a circle of white card
8. Cut a 4cm x 13cm strip of black card, trim a wavy section across one edge and attach to the base of the inked panel
9. Add the ghost into the slider slot. Apply foam tape around the back of the panel, ensuring there’s enough room for the slider to move freely. Attach to the blank and finish with our sentiment
