For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Cut brown cardstock to cover the front. Cut 6¼"x4¾" Color Me™ stripes paper. Place the paper on the craft sheet and place stencil tape along the inside edge of the first stripe. Swipe the brown ink pad over the first stripe, being careful not to get ink on the rest of the paper. Wipe off the excess ink and let dry a couple minutes. Carefully remove the tape and repeat the process across the paper, leaving a couple stripes white. When coloring stripes side by side, it's best to place tape on each side of the stripe before inking. When dry, glue the paper to the cardstock. Glue ribbon across the paper 7/8" from the bottom, gluing the ends on the back. Glue the constructed front to the card.
