Instructions:

1. Die cut stitched rectangle die from white cardstock. Using blending tool, ink Spun Sugar Distress Oxide around outside edges of cardstock (leaving the centre white).

2. Generously spray water over the top of the ink, allow to sit for a few seconds and remove excess water/ink using a paper towel. This will give a nice, light colour. Dry well with heat tool.

3. Ink Spun Sugar Distress Oxide through Opulent Stencil, around the outside edges.

4. Heat emboss all laser cut pieces – Use gold embossing powder for the flowers and frame, and black embossing powder for the sentiment.

5. Colour images with the colouring medium of your choice (I used Copic markers). Fussy cut or die cut using the matching dies.

6. Adhere the background piece onto your scalloped black rectangle. Add the frame, flowers and laser cut sentiment. Foam mount the stamped images and finish off with a cut-a-part sentiment.
