Instructions

Flowers & Flourishes
(1)
Pounce one of the chipboard flowers onto the Perfect Medium Ink Pad making sure to cover the entire piece with ink.

(2) Sprinkle desired color of UTEE Brightz embossing granules over the inked piece of chipboard.

(3) Heat to melt UTEE.

(4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you have 2-4 coats of UTEE in a nice thick layer.

(5) Optional - After your last coat of UTEE has been applied, IMMEDIATELY while the UTEE is still molten, press one of your texture stamps* onto the heated UTEE and let cool. (*Note - this will not hurt rubber or acrylic stamps. Do not attempt with Foam Stamps as they may melt.)

(6) After UTEE has cooled gently remove the rubber stamp

(7) Repeat steps 1–6 for additional flowers, flourishes as desired.

Pigment Ink Background Cardstock
(8)
Apply* Sail Boat Blue Adirondack Pigment Ink to the glossy cardstock by pouncing directly from the ink pad. (*Note - you do not have to apply the ink to the entire piece of cardstock - a rough coverage will be fine.)

(9) Immediately spritz the wet ink with the Mini Mister filled with water.

(10) Let set approx 30 seconds and heat to dry using the Craft Tool.

(11) Once a majority of the ink/water has dried blot the remaining water off of the cardstock with a soft cloth.

(12) Cut pigment ink background cardstock & layer onto card panel.

(13) Stamp “Stitches” using Pitch Black Pigment Ink* (*Note - this ink works extremely well on textured cardstock!)

(14) Stamp sentiment in lower right hand corner of card.

(15) Layer and adhere UTEE/chipboard pieces using Glossy Accents and let dry.
