Apply Wink of Stella to the daisy center.
2. Layer the 3 remaining Whisper White card stock rectangles one on top of the other – use a small amount of snail to adhere the pieces together temporarily (1” or less). Prior to sticking the pieces together, touch the adhesive to clothing to reduce the stickiness.
