(1) Carefully ink the beak, feet and breast of the large bird stamp using the Nick Bantock Vermillion Lacquer ink pad, and then cover the rest of the stamp with the Nick Bantock Prussian Blue ink pad and stamp it onto a piece of white cardstock.

(2) Use the Niji waterbrush to “pull” color from the stamped area of the image into the unstamped areas.  The inks from the Nick Bantock Collection work beautifully with this technique!

(3) Cut the bird out using the X-Acto knife.

(4) Stamp the phrase onto a piece of white cardstock with the Prussian Blue inkpad, and then tear the edges of the cardstock.

(5) Working on the Craft Sheet, use the Ink Blending Tool and the Prussian Blue inkpad to add color to the torn edges of the cardstock.

(6) With the Vermillion Lacquer inkpad, cover the front of the card with the large floral stamp image and use the Ink Blending Tool to ink the edges of the card with the same color.

(7) Mount the phrase to the card with double stick tape, adhere the dried flowers with a few small dabs of the Matte Accents, and then mount the bird to the card with the square Pop It Shapes.
