Step 1 of 7

Choose one of the small paper toppers from the Bookazine kit and adhere to the centre of your 5 x 7" card blank. 

Step 2 of 7

Use your black pen to draw a decorative frame around the topper. 

Step 3 of 7

Secure layering stencil 1 in position across the bottom right of your card. 

Step 4 of 7

Blend your Sherbet ink through stencil 1.

Line up stencil 2 and blend with Bittersweet. 

Line up stencil 3 and apply the Bittersweet again but with more intensity.

Line up stencil 4 and blend with Hedgerow and Frayed Burlap.

Line up stencil 5 and blend with Frayed Burlap and Black Soot, to complete your stencilled floral image. 

Step 5 of 7

Stamp the "detailed" lamination stamp from the Bookazine, in Midnight, across both your paper topper and stencilled image. 

Step 6 of 7

Stamp the sentiment in Midnight, in the bottom left corner of your design. 

Step 7 of 7

To finish, smoosh a little Black Soot onto your glass mat, add water and splatter over your artwork as required. 

You made it!
