- Scissors

Process:
For this project, I am featuring the Forget Me Not floral stencil that Blank Page Muse created at my request, and I have to say I am extremely happy with the result of their efforts.
- Using the light blue cardstock and the sticky mat, secure the cardstock in place and the stencil over top in the orientation most pleasing to you.
- Using the purple ink and an ink-blending brush, add ink to the petals until satisfied with the resulting hue.
- Using the forget-me-not blue ink and an ink-blending brush, add ink to the center/interior edge of the petals until satisfied with the resulting hue.
- Using the green ink and an ink-blending brush, add ink to the stem and leaves until satisfied with the resulting hue.
- Using the die-cutting machine and the edged die of choice, cut the image panel to size. For this project, I wanted a large reveal for the mat, so the size I chose may be smaller than yours.
- Using the forget-me-not blue ink and an ink-blending brush, apply ink around the edges to create a vignette.
- Add the sentiment of choice, I chose a sentiment from my stash, blue ink, and my Better Press to achieve the look featured
- Using the water color pigment of choice, apply a splatter effect.
- Adhere the flat-backed pearls with liquid glue.
- Adhere the image panel to the light purple mat with liquid glue.
- Adhere the composite to the white A2 card base with liquid glue.
