Ink a square acrylic block with Playground, spritz it four times with water and allow the inks to begin blending.
Quickly press it onto watercolor paper. Lift the block and rotate it 90 degrees and press it onto the paper again. Rotate and press it again two more times. Heat a dry iron on the cotton setting - then press the paper to dry the inks.
Stamp Circle Word Background onto the watercolor paper with Tree Frog and dry the ink. Diecut the Memory Box Amana Circle from heavy vellum and use the negative section as a stencil. Use the Stylus, White Tip and Rosebud to stencil a light layer of ink over the background. Carefully remove the stencil and heat-set the ink with the iron.
Replace the negative stencil, then place the vellum diecut over the Rosebud pattern and stencil it with Picante. Remove the vellum and emboss it with Opalescent Clear Powder. Trim the watercolor paper, ink the edges with Picante and heat-set the edges. Mat it with Peony Cardstock.
Burnish the Celebrate Design Adhesives greeting onto Meadow Cardstock and brush Sweet Orange Glitter onto the adhesive. Attach Scor-Tape to a scrap of Meadow Cardstock and brush Peridot Glitter onto the tape. Cut or punch it into a 5/8" circle and attach to the stencilled design. Attach Scor-Tape to a scrap of Peony Cardstock, brush it with Sweet Orange Glitter and punch a 3/8" circle. Attach it to a 1/2" circle of Meadow Cardstock.
Cut, score and fold a 6-1/4" x 4-1/2" card of Begonia Cardstock. Assemble the card, using foam dots for the greeting.
