1. Ink a UM Wisteria image with Amethyst and Earth. Stamp into the lower left and upper right corners of a 4x6" White panel.
2. Use a grid ruler and purple watercolor pencil to draw a line 1/2" from the outside edge of the panel. Do not draw the line on top of the stamped images.
3. Lightly blend the line with a water brush. I love that new Faber-Castell water brush. Yep, I do.
4. Use a ruler and fine tipped PITT pen to draw a thin line over the blended line. (Totally optional.)
5. Stamp that sweet unmounted sentiment onto the panel with India Black ink.
6. Splatter the panel lightly with a purple Gelato and waterbush.
7. Shade the outside edges of the panel with Amethyst ink and a handy CS Ink Applicator. Nest the art piece onto a 4.25x6.25" Dark Purple matte and Light Purple card.
And you're done!
I hope you give this a try. It's pretty easy!
Creatively yours,
Tricia
