Instructions:

1. Stamp paper texture cube with resist ink all over a half sheet of glossy white cardstock. Heat set.

2. Brayer rainbow ink over top of the stamped resist ink.

3. Heat set, then over-stamp the texture again with the rainbow ink. You have to heat set the brayered ink first, otherwise the stamped rainbow ink will be absorbed into the brayered ink and literally disappear!

4. Cut a panel from this sheet to cover the top two-thirds of a white 5” x 7” top fold card. Edge the panel with dark blue marker and adhere to the card with Herma Dotto tape. Attach a ½” black and gold decorative strip to the bottom of the panel.

5. With Coal Black ink, stamp ‘Fabulous’ text on the top right of the panel. Then randomly stamp ‘Happy Birthday’ with the same ink. Set aside.

6. Brayer the rainbow ink again on the remaining half of the glossy sheet. Stamp the large Persian woman image once and the small (face only image) twice on the brayered sheet with Coal Black ink.

7. Cut all three images out and layer with black panels (I just used the back of the black/gold paper). Trim each one close with deckle edge scissors.

8. Attach larger face image with foam tape to the center of the lower half of the card. Attach the smaller images on either side with the tape runner.

9. Embellish with faux diamond stickers on the forehead jewelry and ring on each image as shown.
