Step 3: For the third section, apply Simon Hurley 'Woof!' ink, but before stamping, spritz the stamp with a little water using the Distress Sprayer. Then stamp just above the portion stamped in step 2. This will give a slightly distressed effect for the top section.

Pour superfine detail white embossing powder on top of the watermark ink and tap off the excess. Use your heat tool to melt the embossing powder. Trim the sentiment strip to fit your background.
