Directions:

• Place the stencil over the cardstock.  Place a piece of removable tape on the corners to keep the stencil from moving.
• Rub the ink blending tool over the ink pad.  Rub on a piece of extra paper to smooth out the ink before using it on the stencil.
• Gently rub over the stencil with the ink blending tool.  I started in the middle and worked my way out towards the edges.

• Remove the stencil to reveal the design.
• I forgot to remove the removable tape used to hold the stencil down.   So, I have tape lines.  Mistakes lead to opportunities.  Making the most of it, I cut the stenciled design down to size.

• I adhered the stenciled design onto a 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ piece of light gray cardstock and onto a 5″ x      5″ card.
• I added a small greeting on the bottom right of the card.
• To finish the card, I tied a sheer cream ribbon on the top of the card.
