Tape the stencil over a large square of black cardstock and use a palette knife to apply a thin layer of structure paste from the top to the bottom. Return any excess to the pot and lift the stencil carefully. Place the stencil in a bowl of water to clean.

2

Leave the stencilled design to dry for at least an hour, then reposition the clean stencil back over the image and tape down.

3

Use a selection of Distress Oxide ink and an ink-blending tool to add colour across the design, with a band of green across the bottom.

4

Trim to 5½x5” and matt onto black cardstock. Affix to the card front leaving a narrow white border at the top and bottom as shown.

5

Stamp a sentiment, trim and adhere below the stencilled image to finish.
