Step 1 of 6

Choose your paper from the Marbled Elegance paper pad and tear down 2 sides to create a panel that will fit on front of your card blank. 

Step 2 of 6

Secure stencil 1 coming onto the right side of the torn paper. 

Step 3 of 6

Blend Heather lightly through stencil 1.

Line up stencil 2 and blend with the Heather again.

Line up stencil 3 and apply Heather with more intensity.

Line up stencil 4 and apply Frayed Burlap.

Line up stencil 5 and blend with Walnut Stain.  

Step 4 of 6

Once the ink is dry, use a white gel pen to add accents and highlights to your stencilled image. 

Step 5 of 6

Stamp your sentiment with the Frayed Burlap.

Tip: Prime the stamp with sticky embossing ink before inking with Distress inks, to get a crisper stamped image. 

Step 6 of 6

Adhere your torn panel onto the front of your card blank, to finish.
