• Start with shades of yellow (Squeeze Lemonade and Mustard Seed) at the top

• Progressively add shades of red (Rusty Hinge and Barn Door) so you have a graduated blend.

• Ink a background stamp of your choice (CMS125, CMS106) in Mustard Seed Distress Ink and stamp over the inked background. (using a lighter shade of ink adds a unique textural look)

• Remove low tac tape and scrap paper to reveal the torn edge design on white.

• Stamp floral silhouette (CMS001) in Jet Black Archival over the inked background.Stamp thank you sentiment on the right side of the inked piece.
