Step 1
Place a piece of felt firmly onto the Ink Applicator tool. Add a generous amount of ink to the felt.
Step 2
Working on the Non-Stick Craft Sheet, color the smaller white rectangle with ink. Set aside for a moment.
Step 3
Use scissors to cut felt into crooked squares and rectangles to mimic the spots of a giraffe. Place them firmly onto the applicator tool in a random fashion. Make sure they do not touch each other.
Step 4
Add Pool ink to the felt and stamp onto the now blue rectangle in a random fashion. Stamp off the rectangle to fill the entire rectangle. Allow to dry for a minute.
Step 5
Place clear stamps onto an acrylic block. Ink the stamps with the Pitch Black Pigment pad. Stamp image onto the giraffe print. Let dry or speed dry with a Heat Tool.
Step 6
Glue ribbon to the top third of the card, and trim off the ends with scissors.
Step 7
Glue stamped rectangle to the center of the remaining white rectangle.
Step 8
Glue the blue and white rectangles centered and about 3/8” from the folded edge of the card
Step 9
Tie a 4” piece of ribbon in a knot. Trim the edges with your scissors. Glue it down with a Glue dot, and glue onto card where the white rectangle and ribbon meet.
Step 10
Glue three pearls to the bottom right-hand side of the card so they are flush with the rectangle and about 1/8” apart.
Trying using different colored inks. Use Pink Sherbet for a girl.
