 Measurements:

 ·       Basic White Thick: 4 1/4” x 11”, scored at 5 1/2”

·       Pool Party: 4” x 5 1/4"

 Instructions:

 1.    Sponge Pretty Peacock ink with a Blending Brush onto the Pool Party Cardstock, creating a darker edge, and a lighter area in the middle.

2.    When the ink is dry, stamp a sentiment from the Joy to You Stamp Set in the center with Versamark Ink, and heat emboss with white embossing powder.

3.    Using the small star stamp from the Merriest Trees Stamp Set, randomly stamp stars on the background with Versamark Ink, and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.

4.    Cover the sentiment with a small piece of paper or post-it note. Squeeze a little of the White Craft Refill onto an acrylic block.  Add one or two drops of water from a Water Painter and mix well.  Pick up some ink with the Water Painter and flick drops onto the sponged panel. Set aside to dry.

5.    Stamp five bulbs from the Merry & Bright Stamp Set with Poppy Parade Ink.  Stamp over the image with the same stamp and Versamark Ink, and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Repeat with the Versamark and Clear embossing powder one or two more times, until the bulbs are smooth and shiny. Die cut the bulbs.

6.    Add a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the More Dazzle paper, and die cut the bulb filaments, the bulb holders, and two or three of the light strings.

7.    Peel the backing from the filaments and bulb holders and attach to the bulbs.

 8.    Adhere the bulbs to the card base with Dimensionals.  Cut the string into smaller strips and attach to the card base, tucking the ends under the bulbs so they don’t show.

9.    Trim off any parts of the bulb that are hanging over the edge of the panel, and attach it to the card base.

10. Embellish with Blooming Pearls.
