- Die cut the scalloped square from black cardstock and the stitched square from white cardstock
-
To create your backgrounds:
- Use the stencil (tag part) and place onto the white background. Carefully blend with an ink of your choice to cover the whole centre evenly with a blending brush - I used Distress Oxide as it blends really smoothly!
- Using the same colour ink, take the photopolymer stamp and ink randomly over the top of the background. It does not need to be perfect - You don't need to use an acrylic block for this!
- Smoosh some ink onto your craft mat and spritz with water. Using a thin paintbrush, splatter some of the ink all over the background
- Add your die cut foliage and a sentiment to complete the card
