Flipped the background stamp over on the table, design side up and inked it using a sponge so I would get a soft impression.

Flipped my card stock over, face down on the stamp and gentle went over it with my hand to make the impression on the card stock.

Missed taking this picture, but I took a white gel pen and accented some of the flourishes.  Now that makes them pop.  I also, make three white dots in each corner of the card stock.

The corners in the finished piece were made with a Photo corner punch and black card stock.  The photo corners are put under the main image panel.

Assembled the card and here it is finished measuring 5.25″ x 5.25″.

May your day be filled with flowers and flourishes.

Until my next post. . . . . . . .
