Step 1 of 9

Stamp our cute Ottie onto a piece of white card. Use your Distress inks to paint him then fussy cut. 

Step 2 of 9

Stamp the sentiment in Midnight, in the panel our Ottie is holding. 

Step 3 of 9

Adhere one of the stickers over the panel before popping Ottie to one side. 

Step 4 of 9

Choose one of the papers from the Marbled Elegance paper pad. 

Step 5 of 9

Stamp Ottie's friends, the fish and whale, in Midnight coming onto the top and bottom left of the paper...use your Ottie as a positional guide to help you decide where to stamp them. 

Step 6 of 9

Again using Ottie as a guide, stamp the reveal sentiment and directional arrow in place. 

Step 7 of 9

Use foam pads to secure Ottie in place. 

Step 8 of 9

Use a black pen to draw a decorative frame around the paper. 

Step 9 of 9

Mat onto black card cut to 6 1/4" square and then onto the front of your card blank. 

You made it!
