Instructions:

From white cardstock, create a 5” x 7” card base, a 4 ¾” x 6 ¾” card panel and 4” x 1 ¼”

sentiment strip. Using Galactic Stream ink to color the outside ¼” edge of the card base.

Select flowers and leaves from each of the stamp sets above. Fill the panel with the flowers and leaves, all

stamped using the outline of the image and Jet Black ink. Stamp three of the larger flowers in a triangular

shape on the panel, one on the left middle, one on the upper right and one on the bottom center. Mask off

each one and then do a second round of stamping, this time with slightly smaller stamps, nestling them under

the existing flowers, filling in the spaces. Mask off each one and then fill in the remainder of the space, leaving

some open space here and there, with various leaves from the stamp sets. Mask off each one. Lightly ink the

outside of the card panel with Iceberg, come in around ¾” but not all the way, you want to leave most of the

center white.

Using the Artist Markers, color in the flowers and leaves, either using the colors noted above or those of your

choosing. Regardless of color, remember to use darker colors at the base of the petals/leaves and transition to

the lightest color at the tip of the petals/leaves. Use the Monochromatic pencil to add shadows on the

underside of the flowers and leaves and the white colored pencil to add highlights. Adhere the completed

panel onto the card base.

With Jet Black ink, stamp the sentiment on the white sentiment strip. Ink the outside edges with Iceberg.

Adhere the sentiment with foam tape.
