Baroque Cross Card
Card Front: Place your card with the fold on the left. Cover with 4¾”x6” Simply Spring floral patterned paper. Wrap an olive ribbon vertically and horizontally around the Simply Spring floral paper and glue the ends on the back. Cut 4”x5 5/8” Simply Spring green cardstock and ink the edges with Olive Pastel ink. Foam tape on the card front centered.
Cut 4”x5 5/8” white cardstock. Using the Stylus and blenders, load with Ice Jade ink, and cover the top ¼ of the cross stamp. Load another blender with Rose Coral ink and cover the next ¼ of the stamp, overlapping just a bit. Use a 3rd blender, to load with the Harvest ink and cover the next ¼ of the stamp, overlapping again. Finally load a 4th blender with the Olive Pastel ink and cover the bottom ¼ of the stamp. Use a paper towel, to lightly remove some of the ink from the cross. (It does not have to be completely removed.) Lightly breathe on your stamp to moisten the ink again and stamp centered on the white cardstock. With your Stylus, blend the coordinating sections to give a soft faded hue of color. Load the Olive Pastel Stylus with more ink, and cover just the cross portion of the stamp. Line up the stamp with the image and stamp it again. It does not need to be perfect. It will give it a rustic feel to be off just a bit.
Tear the edges of the stamped cardstock close to the words and glue on to the Simply Spring green cardstock, centered. Embellish the cross with Gold Jewel Dazzles™ as shown.
