Apply masking tape along the bottom, and down the right hand side, of the white card blank.

Spritz with water and stamp coming up from the bottom right hand corner. 

Step 5 of 9

Ink up the coordinating detailed stamp, with the Salavged Patina Distress Oxide.

Spritz with water and stamp in place over your solid, stamped image. 

Step 6 of 9

Ink it up again, with the same ink, and stamp a little of the image peeking up from the bottom of the card, to the left of the other stamped image. 

Step 7 of 9

Ink up the sentiment from the Love And Hope Stamp Collection, with the Smoky Grey Versafine, and stamp through your floral image. 

Step 8 of 9

Use a white gel pen to add accents and highlights to your artwork. 

Step 9 of 9

To finish add clear gems on your artwork, where required.
