Background: Sarah cheated a bit and used her Old Olive Blendabilities to make freehand stripes across the front of the card. If you don’t have those pens, you could use a watercolor brush and your Old Olive ink pad to paint the stripes, or just leave that out and it will still look great.
3-Step Stamping: you will find the stamps are numbered and have tabs on them to help with alignment. Here’s the thing: when Sarah experimented with this set, she had trouble getting the results she wanted when she stamped in the suggested order. So she reversed it, stamping the full image in Rich Razzleberry first and then following with the second stamp and ending with the first (both in Blackberry Bliss). Then give a gentle mist of water to the image to soften it, and you’re good to go!
