Spritz the paper and the inked area with water. Press the paper face down in the ink. Lift and move the paper over the ink repeatedly until the desired effect is achieved. Let dry. Cut medium green cardstock to cover the front and glue the inked paper centered on it. Glue green grosgrain ribbon across the paper, 1 1/8" from the lower edge, then glue the constructed front to the card.
