Step 1 of 9

Ink up the typewriter with the Onyx Black Versafine, and stamp on the white cardstock (5 1/2 x 5 1/2").

Fussy cut out. 

Step 2 of 9

Apply some of the Salvaged Patina and Iced Spruce Distress Oxides on to a glass or craft mat.

Add a little water and paint your typewriter. 

 

Step 3 of 9

Ink up the sentiment with the Onyx Black Versafine, and stamp on to the bottom of the paper scroll.

Ink up a butterfly with the Versafine, and stamp just above the sentiment. You can stamp more butterflies if desired. 

Curl the top of the paper scroll. 

Set to one side.  

 

Step 4 of 9

Swipe the Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide pad, partially across the white cardstock (8 x 5 1/2"), from left to right. 

Repeat this step, using the Squeezed Lemonade Oxide, overlapping on top of the pink ink slightly, to create an orange stripe too. 

Step 5 of 9

Ink up the solid circle stamp with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide, and stamp randomly on to the inked background. 

Ink up the circle texture stamp, in the Versafine, and stamp randomly on to the background. 

Ink up the alphabet letter stamp, with the Versafine, and stamp randomly on to your background, ensuring you also stamp over the circle stamps, to keep the design connected. 

Step 6 of 9

Ink up the sentiment stamp with the Onyx Black Versafine, and stamp bottom right on your background. 

Ink up a butterfly and stamp around the sentiment, as desired. 

Step 7 of 9

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

Step 8 of 9

Mat your background on to the front of your top folding black card blank. 

Step 9 of 9

Adhere your typewriter on to your background, slightly to the left, using wet glue, or foam pads for more dimension.
