Instructions:

1       Stamp image on 4” x 5-1/4” vanilla cardstock with Versamark ink.  Sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat with embossing tool. 

2       Brayer diagonally with Bouquet Kaleidacolor inkpad.  Repeat these two steps on a scrap piece of Vanilla cardstock for the greeting. 

3.    Lay stamped and brayered cardstock (both card layer and the scrap piece) face up and cover with a clean piece of cardstock. Iron until embossing powder is melted. The “resist” image will show through, hence the “Faux Bleach” name. 

4.    Stamp greeting with Noir Black inkpad on scrap piece. Sponge edges of both greeting and card layer with Noir Black ink. 

5.    Mat both card layer and greeting with orange cardstock leaving about an 1/8” border. 

6.    Cut a strip of light green cardstock about 1” x 4” and run through crimper. Sponge edges with Noir Black ink. Glue vertically to center of card and trim edges as needed. 

7.    Glue greeting over crimped strip and attach black brads as desired. 

8.    Punch corners with corner punch and run fiber around the edges. 

9.    Stamp flower image on scrap vanilla cardstock with Bouquet Kaleidacolor inkpad and cut out. Attach to lower right corner of greeting. Run fiber through yellow button and knot and glue to center of flower. 

10.    Fold 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” vanilla cardstock in half to make card. Glue entire matted card front to folded vanilla cardstock.
