Step by step

1. Prepare two pieces of card: one for a black and grey monochromatic version, one for a pink background with black mat and grey layer. ▶ watch 7:45
2. Gather your colour ink pads (pink, yellow and teal) and a flat watercolour brush. ▶ watch 8:00
3. Load your dry brush with pink ink by picking it up directly from the ink pad, without adding water. ▶ watch 9:30
4. Create a dry brush line down the first panel by moving the brush in a zigzag motion from left to right, going over it several times to build up the scratched effect. ▶ watch 11:00
5. Clean your brush by brushing it off on scrap white card stock to remove the pink ink. ▶ watch 12:30
6. Repeat the dry brush technique in the centre panel using yellow ink, creating zigzag lines from left to right. ▶ watch 13:00
7. Clean your brush again and apply the teal colour to the third panel using the same dry brush zigzag technique. ▶ watch 14:15
8. Stamp the Stand Tall design once in each of the three coloured panels using a thin block, varying which flower design you use in each panel. ▶ watch 16:30
9. Add a sentiment using washi tape tickers, trimming to fit and positioning to one side of the card. ▶ watch 17:45
10. Mount the finished panel onto your card base. ▶ watch 18:30

Tips from the show

• Don't be scared to get colour on your brush; the more you load it, the better the effect.
• If you prefer symmetrical, precise work, you can mark your card into three sections with a grid before starting.
• Don't throw the card in the bin if it looks wonky; keep going and see where it takes you.
