Step 1 of 10

Smoosh the Sherbet ink pad on to your craft mat and spritz with water.

Pick up the ink on to the white card, measuring 6 3/4 x 4 3/4". 

Dry the ink off with a quick blast from your heat tool. 

Step 2 of 10

Ink up the lady from Imala Strike A Pose, with the Onyx Black Versafine and stamp off the right hand edge of your card. 

Step 3 of 10

Place stencil 1 from the Quattro D Sunflower Collection, to the left of your stamped image and using your blending tool, apply the Sherbet ink.

Line up stencil 2 and blend with the Bittersweet.

Blend Hedgerow through stencil 3 and again through stencil 4, but with more pressure. Blend a touch of the Versafine through the stencil, to add shadow to the centre of the sunflower. 

Step 4 of 10

Ink up the coordinating Sunflower stamp, with the Versafine and stamp over your stencilled image. 

Step 5 of 10

Ink up the "texture" part of the Strike A Pose stamp, with the Versafine and randomly stamp around the edges of your card. 

Step 6 of 10

Use a black pen to draw a decorative, wiggly frame, around your artwork. 

Step 7 of 10

Add accents and highlights to your stamped images, with a white gel pen. 

Step 8 of 10

Adhere your artwork on to your kraft card blank and set to one side. 

Step 9 of 10

Ink up the sentiment, from Strike A Pose, with the Versafine and stamp on to the white card, cut to 4 x 1 3/4". 

Use your black pen to draw a decorative frame around your sentiment. 

Step 10 of 10

Adhere to the bottom left of your card, with foam pads.
