Randomly squeeze a few drops of Blending Solution onto the paper and allow to spread and dry. Place leaf Dazzles™ on the cardstock and color in the inside edges with Plum marker. Note: If any marker ink gets on the Dazzles&trade,; simply wipe it off with a tissue. Mat on green cardstock and glue to the card front.
