Step 1 of 8

Apply masking tape around all four sides of your DL card blank, creating a centre panel.

Step 2 of 8

Use a blending tool to apply Heather within the panel, fading it out as you move inwards. Splatter water droplets on to the ink, wait a few seconds then mop up with a paper towel. 

Step 3 of 8

Stamp the jewellery and word elements, from the Pearly Whites set, in Midnight. Ensure you stamp some of the images off the edges of the masked panel. You only need to stamp the images in the top half of the panel as you will be adhering your lady on top. 

Step 4 of 8

Carefully remove the masking tape to reveal your inky background panel. 

Step 5 of 8

Stamp our lovely lady from the Sweethearts set, in Midnight on to a seperate piece of white card. Use the watercolour paints to colour her in then fussy cut. Use your white gel pen to add accents and highlights as required. 

Step 6 of 8

Adhere your lady on to your card, trimming off any overhang. 

Step 7 of 8

Stamp the sentiment in Midnight, on to a piece of white card and trim to shape. Adhere to black card and trim to shape to create a "mat", then adhere to the bottom left of your card. 

Step 8 of 8

Finally, use the Gossip sparkle pen to add a touch of sparkle and shimmer to the jewellery elements.
