Instructions:
1. Apply the blue and green inks directly from the ink pad to the canvas by
swiping the ink pad in different directions across the canvas. Swipe the Coffee
Bean ink pad over those colors slightly to "dirty it up" a little.
2. Cut all papers as stated in the supplies. Using a neutral piece of paper from
the paper collection, cut out the letter (M in my case) using the Cricut Cutting
machine at 5 1/2". Cut out a shadow of the same letter on blue paper if your
cartridge allows it or mount your letter onto a piece of blue paper and cut
slightly larger around the letter to make a shadow letter. Adhere the small
letter stickers onto the large letter to spell the name out completely and stamp
a sentiment ("hilarious") on the other end of the letter. Stamp another
descriptive sentiment on the bottom right of the green rectangle. Stamp the date
disk image onto a piece of blue and then line up the 1 1/4" circle punch to
punch the disk out. Stamp "love you" onto one of the tags from the paper
collection.
3. When all of your elements are cut out, stamped, inked, etc. Lay them out on
the canvas as desired. Do not adhere them as you go along. Remove the pieces
from the canvas keeping track of where you want each piece laid out. Using a
paint brush, brush a layer of the gel medium onto the canvas and apply your
bottom layer of elements to the canvas. Brush another layer of the gel medium
over those elements and add the next layer of papers/letters/tags/etc.. Repeat
until all the pieces have been adhered to the canvas and coated over the top
with one last layer of the gel medium. Refer to the photos for layout. The
layers are easily visible. Set aside to dry.
4. Adhere the Terrifically Tacky Tape around the entire edge of the canvas. Peel
off the protective covering and adhere your ribbon all the way around. This will
cover up the staples on the canvas.
