On the right side of your card, use the double sided tape to stick on the driftwood panel with the print running down.
Take your menu stamp and pearlescent jade ink and stamp on top of the driftwood panel a number of times in random places (but always running in line with the top and bottom of the card……please look at the picture). It doesn’t matter if you get ink on the card behind because you will be covering that with your next panel.
Once you have done this, clean your stamp, take your Smokey Grey Ink Pad and stamp a few more times.
Stick the other driftwood panel on the left side of your card (it will slightly overlap the panel you just stuck down and stamped on).
Measure Cut 2 pieces of Hessian Paper 2.5cm x 8cm. Use double sided tape to stick these in to place across 2 driftwood panels on the left side of your card.
Run a line of double sided tape along the join where the 2 driftwood panels meet. Press your Scalloped Lace on top of the double sided tape and trim off any loose ends at the top and bottom of your card.
