Instructions
Step 1: To start the background for the card, use a piece of Stark White Cardstock cut to an A2 size. Using the Mini Ink Blending Tool, Woof Ink and the Letter It Organic Stripes Stencil. Ink the background piece of paper. Set that aside to dry or use the Heat it Tool to dry it.
Step 2: Place the beautiful Flower Garden Background Stamp rubber side up and ink it with the Grey Tinted Embossing Ink.
Step 3: Place the stenciled background piece on the Stamp, get another piece of paper and lay that on top. Using good pressure with your hands press and rub to get a good transfer of the inked image onto the cardstock.
Step 4: Now time to use these wonderful Speckled Embossing Powders. Sprinkle the Embossing Powders all over the wet ink. Use the Heat Tool to melt the Embossing Powders. As they melt all the speckles come to life
Step 5: Stamp the word “YAY” using the Space Training Stamp Set in Archival Jet Black Ink and cut them out with scissors

Step 8: Add some finishing embellishments with Pewter Liquid Pearls.
