We crumpled up the piece of tissue paper, carefully opened it out leaving as many lines and ridges as possible and placed it over the whole gluey panel taking care not to smooth it out too much. The excess tissue paper was the folded to the back and glued down. The whole piece was then glued to the Pretty Peacock panel and then to the Petunia Pop card front..
