Step 1 of 5

Stamp our lovely gentleman in the Frayed Burlap, on to a piece of white card trimmed to 7 1/2 x 3 1/2". LEAVE THE STAMP AND CARD IN POSITION!! Spritz your stamped image with water, allowing the ink to "bleed", mopping up any excess with a paper towel. This is referred to as the "bleeding technique". 

Step 2 of 5

RE-ink the stamp with Midnight and stamp back over your image, bringing back the definition to your artwork. 

Step 3 of 5

Ink around the edges of the card with the Frayed Burlap, splatter drops of water over the inky background and mop up excess with a paper towel.

Use a black pen to draw a wiggly decorative frame, around your card. 

Step 4 of 5

Stamp your sentiment in the Distress ink, across the bottom of your card. 

Step 5 of 5

Finally mat your artwork on to your card blank. 

You made it!
