Instructions  

(1) Die cut rectangle frame and cut card panel for card from white cardstock.

(2) Place white cardstock panel on Craft Sheet. Load Ink Blending Tool with Ink Blending Foam with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. Beginning at the center edge of the card panel, work Blending Tool in a circular motion to apply ink to the center third of the panel; reink foam as necessary.

(3) Change Ink Blending Foam. Tip: use tweezers to carefully remove foam; save for next time you need to use that color.

(4) Apply Aged Mahogany to new piece of Blending Foam and following the instruction in step 2, apply ink to the top third of the card panel. Blend Aged Mahogany to the edge where the Spiced Marmalade is to create a softer gradation of color.

(5) Repeat steps 2-4, but with Dusty Concord and to the bottom third of the card panel. Blend Dusty Concord with the Spiced Marmalade border to create a soft blending of the two colors.

(6) Repeat these steps for applying ink to the die cut frame.

(7) Stamp Flower Foliage stamps around the edges of the frame and card panel with Jet Black Archival Ink.

(8) Stamp Fairy in the center of the card panel with Jet Black Archival Ink.

(9) Place tag onto Craft Sheet and apply Dusty Concord with the Ink Blending Tool and Foam, using a circular motion while applying ink. This will create a smooth application of color and avoid lines or blocks of color.

(10) Stamp “Make a Wish” sentiment with Jet Black Archival Ink.

(11) Edge card panel and frame with Gold Posh Accent Pen.

(12) Apply Glossy Accents to the Fairy. Hint: begin squeezing out Glossy Accents on scrap paper to establish flow and to make sure there are no air bubbles.

(13) Apply Platinum Stickles to fairy wings, moon and accents on the tag.

(14) Once dry, attach tag to frame with brad. Attach frame to card panel with Popit! Shapes to create a dimensional look. Attach to coordinating card base.
