2. Adhere 3 strips of the DSP to the basic white CS. Adhere to the card front.
3. Cut misty moonlight doily in half, adhere to the left and right side of the card front.
4. Take 2 pieces of the ribbon (about 4” each). Fold in half and adhere to the left and right sides of the card aligning in in the middle.
5. Use the largest die from Stitched so Sweetly die set to die cut a basic white CS.
6. Stamp an image on the right side of the die cut label and greeting in top left corner in basic grey ink.
7. Use a q-tip for a quick coloring. Lightly pick up a color from misty moonlight ink pad, rub it first over scratch piece of paper (to avoid harsh lines), then color a hat and a dress. Add more ink as needed. If you like more precise coloring – use blends.
8. Color “arms” and a wine glass with blends.
