Directions:

Step 1

Paint the plywood shape with All-Purpose White ink color. Let it dry well.

Step 3

Use a Sponge Dauber to smoothly add color with Memento Rich Cocoa and Pear Tart ink pads.

Stamp the foliage first with the Memento Bamboo leaves and then stamp on top, slightly offsetting to the first design, with StazOn Olive Green.

 

Step 5

Stamp butterflies with StazOn Fuchsia pink and Royal Purple ink pads.

Add a sentiment with StazOn Jet Black.
