Step 2:
Cut a piece of Pale Plum cardstock at5 ¼ x 4 inches.Mount this on the front of the PerfectPlum card base.
Step 3:
Tear a piece of scrap cardstock so that it has anirregular and jagged edge.This torn piece of cardstock is your “mask.”
Step 4:
Lay the torn edge of the scrapcardstock on the glossy cardstock along the short edge, about a ½ inchdown from the top edge of thecardstock. Ink up a sponge withPerfect Plum ink and sponge it ontothe glossy cardstock, overlapping itonto the torn scrap piece of cardstock. The more layers of ink you do, the more vibrant the colorwill be.
