Once dry, using the Water Brush and the Avocado Liquid Pearl paint, brush letter the word “thanks.” When writing, be sure to use more paint on the Water Brush than you did for the background to make sure there is enough contrast between shades.

Glue the Woodgrain paper in the center of the large piece of Mixed Media Cardstock using Ranger Glossy Accents. Then glue the small Mixed Media Cardstock band to the bottom third of the Woodgrain paper.
