1. Repeatedly stamp an arrow onto white cardstock, 10.5cm x 15cm, then sprinkle with bonding powder until the entire panel is covered, before heating the powder all at once. Place foil on top immediately and burnish with a bone folder. Flip the foil with the cardstock upside-down and heat the cardstock whilst burnishing it with a bone folder.
2. Let it cool down and remove the foil. Cut the bottom corner off diagonally and adhere a strip of gold mirri to the cut edge. Apply a brush pen to a scribble background stamp misted with water and stamp in the bottom-right corner of a white blank, letting it dry before stamping a sentiment on top. Adhere the foiled panel. Stamp a cluster of hearts in black, cut out and fix onto the card with foam adhesive.
