Step 1 of 10

Choose your paper from the Cozy Home paper pack. Trim to 5 x 7". 

Step 2 of 10

Secure stencil 1 in place to the right of the paper, as seen here. 

Step 3 of 10

Blend your Cotton ink through the stencil. 

As it's a pigment ink and slow drying, you will need to dry the ink thoroughly. 

Step 4 of 10

Line up each of the remaining stencils one at a time, in number order. Ink through each stencil with your Heather, increasing intensity through each layer. 

Step 5 of 10

Stamp over your stencilled image with the Smoky Grey Versafine ink. 

Step 6 of 10

Stamp your sentiment in the Versafine, to the bottom left of your design. 

Step 7 of 10

Dry brush the White Lace Confetti paint across random areas of the paper, using a dry, flat paint brush. This will push the paper design back and draw your eye to the stencilled floral artwork. 

Step 8 of 10

Swipe around the edges of the paper with your Versafine ink pad. 

Step 9 of 10

Cut a coordinating paper to 5 1/2 x 7 1/2" and edge the paper with your ink pad, as before. 

Step 10 of 10

To finish, mat your stencilled artwork onto the larger piece of decorative paper and then onto your cream card blank. 

You made it!
